5.00Sue and Richard are great tour guides. Ex-pats from USA they now live in Perugia and know the food, drink, history and culture of Umbria. The food and drink was plentiful, informative and joyful. Join them after the tour at their son’s bar near the main town square. A wonderful food tour!

5.00We strongly recommend this food tour if you 1. like trying different foods 2. like learning about food histories. We visited small shops and cafes, we wouldn't have found on our own. Pietrina was friendly, patient and very knowledgeable about the food but also Perugian history.

5.00Richard did an outstanding job guiding us around Perugia and introducing us to many tasty foods and drinks along the way. Just the right amount of walking and history lessons during the tour. He knew so many people there and shared his own experiences about being an American in Umbria.

5.00Pietrina was a great tour guide with great knowledge of both the wine and the food we were tasting along the way as well as explaining a lot of historical detail about Perugia. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour as it combines food and history with a lot of walking made easy by stopping often (5 stops) for delicious food. The highlight of our trip!
