Highlights
  • La Citta Alta - Bergamo is the split-into-two town: Bergamo Alta (
    the high Bergamo) and Bergamo Bassa (the low town), joined by the historic cable car.

Within the heart of the beautiful Bergamo Alta, we selected the best preparations, capable of presenting in one dish the food culture of the area of Bergamo: from the farmers’ traditional meals, to the richly presented meats, to the gelato ‘stracciatella’, which was first created in Bergamo indeed.

Escorted by our local Foodie, you will discover a secret itinerary enclosed within the walls of the Citt Alta, created following strong flavours and delicate scents, starting from the origins of the Lombard tradition and taking us to the contemporary Bergamo food scene that we know today.

What's Included
  • Lunch included
  • Pre-determined wine servings
Additional Information

The ‘Do Eat Better Experience’ culinary tour includes a guided stroll of at least 4 stops throughout the historic center of Bergamo Alta. Participants are led by a ‘Foodie’, a local pal who elucidates all aspects of the chosen eateries, their dishes, and the interesting history/facts tied to them.

Tours offered by ‘Do Eat Better Experience’ blend top-notch gastronomy as a showcase of Italian culture and way of life with a walking exploration alongside a local buddy. This is why we only accommodate small groups: we aim for authenticity and ensuring each participant receives personalized attention.

Kindly be informed that the tours are conducted in both English and Italian; other languages can be catered to upon request.

Excellent!! Highly recommend. - Our food tour was lovely!! Our guide Julia was wonderful and shared the history behind the food and traditions as well as information about the charming city of Bergamo. The stops were varied in nature and all with outstanding food and drink!!! My favorites were the Casoncelli pasta and the stracciatella. Although it rained for most of the tour it did not affect our enjoyment. Thank you so much!!!

Fun experience in Bergamo - Our tour with Massimo was a lot of fun. We had a great time walking around the city and he showed us the greatest spots to have a good glas of local wine and specialities from the region. All that with some interesting historical facts about the city. We would totally do this again!

Would recommend!! - Me and my family were really happy and satisfied with the food tour! Massimo is a super guide and made the tour comfortable and fun. We learned a lot about Bergamo and italian colture. And we got to visit places we would never find, and taste food we normally would not order. Overall, we were positively surprised! It was a fun experience, and we are glad Massimo was our guide:)

Do eat better with Massimo is highly recommended. - We had a guided tour including 5 stops at local eateries with our guide Massimo. A rich, exciting and rewarding morning. Massimo is a skilled guide and made the lessons together interesting, fun and educational. We gained knowledge about the local eateries, the city's history and exciting conversations about similarities and differences between our two countries. Highly recommended.
