Savor Verona: Unforgettable Food & Wine Immersion

Our guide, Leonardo was fantastic! It was only my wife and me on the tour but that didn’t throw him. Leonardo was very knowledgable about Verona and the food and wine from the area. While there were not as many tastings as other tours we’ve taken, we learned a lot about the items and how they fit into Verona’s food history. The walk around town was also very informative. We really felt coming away from the tour that we certainly got our money’s worth and spent a few very pleasant hours learning about Verona.

The tour was excellent! Our guides, Ricardo & Diana, were very knowledgeable and fun! it was a nice, relaxed pace, tasty food. They also recommended other places to check out.

This was not as good as other food walks I've taken in other cities, but it was fun. Our first stop, an olive oil tasting on bruschetta, was not informative at all, but the oils were interesting and different. The candy stop was an intense rapid overload of sugar with hardly any information. Our cake stop wasn't a stop, it was a pick-up and eat in the street, again, with no information. Our final stop we actually learned a bit about the two wines, but nothing more about the meats and cheeses than their straightforward descriptions. As we walked through Verona our guide pointed out a few historical points of interest. While we had a very good time with our guide and the other guests, the food choices didn't thrill us.

The tour was tasty and informative. Our guide Leonardo was passionate about the food we tried and very knowledgeable about the wine too. We were not rushed and enjoyed the experience

Disappointed by an underwhelming tour. I've been on a few food tours in Italy, they are usually filled with interesting stories and inspiring food. Our guy was lovely but spoke quickly and didn't make it a memorable experience, no fun stories to make Verona or the food come alive. We basically had some toast with olive oil, a few sweets, a cake, and some wine and unremarkable cheese and salami. I was underwhelmed.

Carlo was a wonderful guide and so knowledgeable about the history and culture of Verona and it's good. We learnt so much and enjoyed being introduced to stores and foods we otherwise would not have tried without his guidance. Unfortunately they were not able to cater well for my friend who has coeliac when it came to food, which was absolutely not the fault of the host who tried his best to adjust the experience. Would recommend for anyone interested in Verona culture, food, wine and history but would caution for those who are gluten intolerant or allergic/coeliac.

Don't eat before you go. Fantastic food and lovely wine. Loved our guide and we had a lovely group of people.

Loved the tour. Leonardo was great🤘 by guiding us through Verona and showing us cosy places. Enjoyed the food and wine.

Firstly, Leonardo was a lovely guy, great host and spoke excellent English. However, I wasn’t impressed with the tour overall. If you know nothing about food, you might be introduced to things you haven’t tried but as my wife and I are self-proclaimed ‘foodies,’ we didn’t really experience anything unusual or new; it was very basic. To be taken to a cake shop to try a local rice cake and be presented with a bill for a bottle of accompanying water was a bit of a cheek really, given the cost of the tour. The best bit was the wine tasting. The sommelier was very friendly and knowledgeable and helped my kids to understand the wine-making process with visuals, but again the meat and cheese ‘platter’ left a lot to be desired.

Our guide, Giovani, was enthusiastic and friendly. He made the tour very fun and enjoyable. He was able to give a lot of historical context as we walked from place to place during the tour, which really elevated the experience.
