Guidekin's take

The sweet tour: espresso at a famous coffee house with the queue skipped, a granita with cream, artisan gelato and an alcohol free tiramisu, with a moka demonstration and a guide who explains the roasting, and nothing a child or a non drinker cannot join.

Tastings and a restaurant guide are included at €65 per person, pickup is not. Gluten free on request.

In our comparison: #159 of 197 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
