We had an absolute blast on the Italian Market food tour! Meg was a fabulous guide, with an extensive knowledge of the history and culture of the area, as well as the amazing food options! The stops were perfectly spaced out, the foods we tried were stellar, and all of Meg's recommendations were on point. Would 100% recommend this to anyone looking to eat some fabulous foods, and learn more about the Italian market!
