Loved Perugia - The food tour was exceptional. The food was amazing. Our tour guide Giorgia went above and beyond. She was knowledgeable about Perugia and passionate about the food and culture. Since there was so much food in 2 1/2 hours I would suggest either trying less food in the allotted time for a lesser fee or extending the the tour time so you’re not eating every 15 min. We did our best to eat it all and took some home. All in all it was excellent.

Lots of good food— you will eat light that night - This was a great sampling of local food, and our guide Giorgia was very informative and fun to tour with. The meat and cheese plate was yummy and so were the porcetta sandwiches. Do it early in your visit, if possible, so you have time to follow up with favorite places though we did it on our last day and it was still great.

A delightful, delicious afternoon - Georgia, our tour guide, met us at the Piazza Italia. Immediately, my husband and I knew we were going to have a wonderful time. Our first stop was the porchetteria where the chef displays his roasted pig, and we get to choose how to eat it! We chose a sandwich and Georgia took us to a beautiful overlook to enjoy both the food and the view. Next, we went to a place that specializes in cold cuts. Georgia ordered a tasting plate and wine, and we were delighted to try different delicious, fresh, and tender, cuts of meats, cheese, and dried tomatoes. Our third stop was a chocolate store that was beautiful inside. We ordered samples of chocolate and learned the story of the Vanucci family. The chocolates were delicious. Time for lunch! At a lovely trattoria, we enjoyed two pasta dishes and some wine. All was wonderful. The waiters, especially Franchesco, were very attentive and friendly. Everyone knows Georgia so it was easy to start conversations with the staff. Our finial stop of this excellent tour was a Pasticceria where we enjoyed Cafe Americano and Tiramisu. It was great to have a personal guide on this Traditional Food Tour because as we ate at the different venues and walked through the streets of Perugia, we had the opportunity to ask questions and learn a lot about the town, the customs, and the people. Georgia was an excellent tour guide. She was knowledgeable about Perugia, the food, and the people. Georgia was patient and listened to all our stories. We went from venue to venue and never felt rushed, just full! Needless to say, we didn't eat dinner. This tour is highly recommended. There are so many choices of places to eat in Perugia. With Georgia's guidance, we experienced wonderful samples of delicious Perugian food.

Food tour on a study abroad trip - We were a group of 10 who did a food tour with Silvia. Everything we ate was amazing, so fresh and delicious. It was regional specialties and we had a lot of food. Through out the tour she kept us entertained with colorful historical facts about Perugia. It was obvious that she knows the city and it's cuisine very well.

Fun for all ages - Excellent experience! Our guide Georgiana was personable, knowledgeable and fun. All the food was delicious. A great time for the whole family from 13 to 75! We went to places we never would have found on our own and she sprinkled in some history of the city as well.

Quick tour with sightseeing and local Perugian food - Awesome quick tour. 3 hours walking around Perugia, doing some sightseeing and eating street food and local food. Really worth it! Silvia made it even better! She explained us a little bit about the history of the city center and the origin of Perugia itself.
