Chiara is a legend - Chiara was fantastic and very knowledgeable. It was great to find amazing spots you were never know about otherwise and the food was incredible. Also loved the information about the history that came with the food

Nice little food tour option. - Wonderful time. It was a bank holiday so several of the normal stops were closed but our lovely guide was able to substitute equally tasty locations.

La spezia simply experienced culinary - The culinary tour of la spezia was entertaining, informative and delicious. Our Guido Gaia introduced us to the individual specialties with a lot of joy and enthusiasm. Of course, you could also explore the city on your own, but so it was much more pleasant and unerring. It really was a successful afternoon Thanks again!

A real taste of Liguria! - Beatrice is an amazing guide, and introduced us to restaurants and to food we otherwise wouldn’t have experienced. She was kind and gracious, and helped us better understand Italy. Especially import since we are considering retiring to Italy in a few years! Definitely worth the time and money. Amiamo La Spezia!

Highly recommended! - For us, the Do Rat Better Experience was totally worth it. Our food guide Gaia was absolutely fantastic! With her friendly and funny manner, she led us to great food spots in La Spezia and provided unforgettable dining experiences. By the way, we were able to talk wonderfully about Italian culture. Gaia is a clear Recommendation – we would definitely go back on tour with her!

Excellent Food Tour - Manuela was an excellent guide. Her insights into La Spezia, as a local, made our tour all the more interesting. We only had one other couple on the tour which made for a personalised tour and lots of opportunities to ask questions. Manuela is fluent in many languages and she conducted our tour in English. We really enjoyed our tour and the food was excellent.

Would Not Recommend this Food Tour - Not worth the money. The guide was very nice, but the food choices were not good. The first stop was at a focaccia restaurant. They had some lovely looking breads on display, but they were not an option. We just got focaccia with olive oil. No seasoning or toppings. Next stop was for socca (a chick pea crepe), and a cheese bread. Again just oily bread , no flavor. Third stop was for pesto pasta. No option given. Everyone got the same pesto pasta. Nothing special about it and not unique to the area. Pesto pasta can be had anywhere. Next stop was at a seafood restaurant where we had a variety of deep fried seafood and marinaded sardines. Last stop was at an ice cream shop where we had a choice of flavors. The ice cream was good. I paid 85 euros for this booked directly through the company.

food tour disappointment - The young lady took us on thet our was lovely and also had some interesting stories. We were disappointed in what we got for $90 Euros. Two stops for focaccia, a pesto pasta and fried fish at a local fast food plus gelato does not add to that amount. I would not recommend the tour.
