Do Eat Better Experience tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way for showing Italian culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend.

Fantastic tour with amazing guide Valentina! The pesto was nothing like I have ever had before…. And the focaccia…… learned much about genoa through food. Book this and don’t eat before you go!

It was very nice and interesting. A very good mix of city tour and introduction to Genovese street Food and specialities. Our Guide (Deborah) had many stories and local legends to Tell and taught us about coffee rules and other things to know.

Serena was very knowledgeable and experienced. Our group of 10 had 2 languages and she did a nice job with both. Good mix of places and local venues. Provided additional tips for after the tour.

This was one of the best excursions we’ve done. We had Valentina as our guide for the Street Food tour and it was top notch from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and experience. All of the food options were delicious and unique to Genoa and we did not leave hungry haha would definitely tour with them again and try the different tour options.

Absolutely wonderful walking food tour! Valentina took us to five places to eat. I felt like we had a 5 course meal, even ending with espresso! Very authentic experience. Valentina was very knowledgeable and thorough. Valentina took great care to find the easiest routes for us, as we had a scooter to consider. Allow at least 30 minutes to get to the meeting place.

We arrived at the meeting point for the tour 45 minutes early but ended up being the last two to join the group. We were literally just 15 feet away from the guide while she was looking for us! It would be helpful if tour guides carried some kind of identifier, like a distinctive bag or sign, to make it easier for guests to find them. Our guide, Serena, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the walk and appreciated all the historical insights she shared. At times, it was a little hard to hear her soft voice due to the surrounding crowd, but the stories behind each shop were fascinating and added so much context we wouldn’t have gotten on our own. The only point of confusion was the “full meal” mentioned in the tour title—it turned out to be a collection of small dishes from each stop rather than a single sit-down meal.

Awesome food tour, lots of variety and beautiful sights. The guide was flexible and allowed us to "go off script" when we wanted to look at a church. Deborah also had some interesting stories and helped us foreigners to better understand the beautiful Genoan culture (specific to cappuccinos - haha)

Great food samples of local cuisine. Valentina was very enthusiastic and did an excellent job guiding our group through the city. Valentina provided insightful local information and her English was excellent.

Great tour filled with lots of historical perspectives and great food. Perfect small group as we were able to converse as we walked. We were given guide contact in case we had additional questions which became very handy when we needed help later in the day.
