Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. A lot of bread ham and cheese though. A small group easy to find meeting spot and took us on a nice walk

Great tour!!

We had a fantastic food tour in Trieste – it was the perfect mix of history, culture, and delicious bites. Sveva was knowledgeable, friendly and was great with our 7 month old baby. We tried everything from local coffee and prosciutto to different cheese from the region, each stop feeling authentic and thoughtfully chosen. The pace was relaxed, making it easy to enjoy both the food and the sights. A great way to discover Trieste’s flavors – highly recommended!
