“Wonderful Tour! - Elena was fantastic, fun and full of energy. This is so much more than a food tour. The food was great, we were full by the time it was over. But she took us to so many great spots that we never would have found on our own and she even taught us a little Italian along the way. She is very knowledgeable and friendly, we had great conversation and wonderful day.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-16
