meet your guide at the meeting point, the food adventure begins!
Our tour begins with delicious farinata, a chickpea flour cake, as simple as it is tasty. Your local expert will accompany you to taste it at one of the city's historic places
We continue with the more traditional “focaccia,” an ever-present snack of all Ligurians, you can eat it at any time of the day. But mind you, only with us will you go to the best bakery in town!
When one thinks of Liguria, one definitely thinks of pesto. Mandatory to try it! You will also have the chance to taste it with a typical pasta of the area, testaroli. Alternatively, you could also try panigacci, a kind of baked pancake served with cheese or cold cuts. All this in a delightful restaurant, really frequented by locals
We are in a seaside town, so your next destination will be toward the harbor. Directly from local fishermen, you will taste the famous fried fish, anchovies and squid that will melt in your mouth!
Finally, the tour will end with a delicious ice cream or dessert from the area. A sweet way to say goodbye

Such a fun walk through a charming city eating good food at each stop. Rebecca added to the charm with info on local life and food.
This is the perfect tour for anyone who wants a taste of La Spezia. The locations and background provided by the tour guide where excellent, and the food was delicious. The tour guide was very flexible and modified the last location to keep us closer to the crusie port. 10 stars!

We had Rebecca as a tour leader, she was amazing and we really enjoyed the tour we received! Food was great, but it would be nice if you could maybe have a couple different food items to select from if you wanted some more variation. Would recommend, especially with Rebecca.
Martina was an amazing tour guide who knew the restaurants in La Spezia like an old pro! We experienced some local cuisine we would have never had otherwise…I highly recommend the tour and Martina specifically.
This is the tour we were looking for. Rebecca did an excellent job sharing the history of La Spezia and the food / locations we visited.
You will be so full of amazing food
Wonderfully relaxed walking tour of the downtown La Spezia area stopping for food in multiple places! Gaia was amazing and great to talk to!
Rebecca was wonderful! Our family really enjoyed our time with her. She was a great host in her hometown.
This was an exceptional tour led by Martina. It was a highlight of our whole trip in Italy. The knowledge, passion and information about the region that Martina told us provided a deep insight into the region. This tour is an absolute must if you are staying in La Spezia. Thank you so much
