Excellent food tour - must do! - Fantastic tour with Sofia! Wonderful introduction to La Spezia and local foods/wine. Sofia was engaging and genuinely interested in learning about her guests. Come hungry - there is a lot of food! Recommend planning this tour early in your stay to take advantage of all the information that Sofia provided us.

Needs improvement - I’m sure this is usually a good tour , but I’m afraid this particular one didn’t hit the mark for us , our guide though lovely , was training two other new guides. All good but this actually made us feel like the third wheel, as she spent most of her time talking to them 😢 she also didn’t give enough history as we walked around , I realise it’s a good tour but it’s also a showcase of the town. This was lacking My food intolerance’s were not taken into account ( possible issue with communication through Viator ) but I ended up very sick and we both felt the good was below par ! Poor possibly off wine served , so all in all a lot of improvement needed
