Italy Food Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Food Italy tours
Ann C. | Traveled in July
This was such a memorable tour. We had a small group and we all had a blast together. Our tour guide and tour driver were excellent. I loved San Giamangio and Portofino! The Tuscany villa and area was wonderful. Stresa was a lovely town and surrounded by the Swiss alps. All of our wine and food experiences was excellent. For the first time going to Italy I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Anonymous | Traveled in June
The excursions were fun. I enjoyed all the people in our group. Food was good and plentiful. The family that runs the hotel did not seem very friendly. The sister in-law of one of the brothers was very annoying, when she speaks she screams. The family always ate next us in the dining room, she was horrible, our guide even asked her to pipe down. The staff was fantastic. Nice grounds but barely a 3 star.
Tracey | Traveled in June
This was a wonderful tour of Puglia. All the towns we visited were beautiful and varied and we saw some interesting sights. We particularly enjoyed staying in a cave in Matera and a trulli house in Alberobello. Antongiulio our tour guide was exceptional and tour went very smoothly. We had a lovely group which really added to our enjoyment and we felt it was a good balance of sight seeing, tastings of local wine & produce and free time.

My trip to Puglia with Explore was wonderful! Each town we visited was beautiful and special. Sleeping in a cave in Matera and trulli house in Alberobello were truly unique experiences. Our guide, Antongiulio, was excellent! He was knowledgeable, organized and thoughtful. He picked the most wonderful restaurants each night, which added to the experience. Thank you, Explore, for another great trip!
