Wonderful guru! Very out-going, knowledgeable, friendly. Guru was simply following the tour company's orders. The route started out good, but a couple things left me feeling "meh." Stop 1 for dried meat, cheese, olives, sun-dried tomato, and aperol spritz was very nice. Stop 2 for pizza dough scraps cooked in lard and black pepper was not good. It is like a dog biscuit. Stop 3 for fried pizza dough, fried pizza dough with seaweed, fried pizza dough rice ball, fried eggplant, etc was very disappointing as it was the main course. The guide thought it was "heaven" but I thought it was hell. I politely tasted everything, as we were a group of only three people. Stop 4 was raw tomatoes. Stop 5 was sfogliatella and limoncello, and that was my favorite. I left feeling gross. I hadn't eaten anything all day to prepare for the "food tour." It took two hours, and we could've moved much faster, especially since it was a group of 3. It didn't seem like the places selected were very meaningful or historical. While the guru was eager to offer some lunch recommendations, it would have been helpful to share a cultivated list in an email or WhatsApp to be used for future reference. The other thing to note, is payment is CREDIT CARD ONLY. I'm happy credit card is an option, but it forces you announce what you'll pay in front of the group and some people incur extra fees/interest when using a card. I absolutely LOVED Claudio's food tour in Rome and gave it 5 stars, but this one I'd rate as 3 stars, as there are many areas the tour company can improve. Again, the GURU IS AMAZING and I wish them lots of success in life and always!
