Guidekin's take

A full meal for two or more in our Street Food & Market Tours comparison.

Trade-off: Severe food allergies rule this out.

Last checked: September 15, 2026. Commissions never affect our verdicts.

Overview

Guidekin summary

A walk through the old centre where at least four stops add up to a full meal rather than a run of snacks, with water and one alcoholic drink for adults included. Tips are extra, the guide may switch between English and Italian, and severe food allergies rule you out. 4.91 from 1,461 reviews at €46 per person for 3h.

From the guide

The Do Eat Better Experience food tour is a walking tour around the historical center of the city. The tourist is guided by a Foodie, a local buddy able to explain every detail of the selected restaurants, their preparations, and the relevant history/curiosities.

Do Eat Better Experience tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way of showing Italian culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend. This is the reason why we accept small groups only: we want to focus on a genuine exchange and give to each tourist the highest attention possible.

Please, note that the tour is always run in English and Italian; other languages upon request.
