에스프레소, 젤라토, 티라미수 도보 투어

Giulia was great! She took us to several different locations and explained the differences and basics of Italian coffee culture. She answered all our questions and was a great tour guide!

Overall we really enjoyed the tour. It was a nice break from more intense sightseeing in the hot sun. Walking was easy and the desserts were tasty. Never had granita before and really liked it. Tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to chat with. Company was very nice to deal with when making our reservations and they accommodated a few special food restrictions with no problems. Would have liked some “behind the scenes” access to be included as part of the tour.

What better way to push through jetlag than with an espresso tour?! The espresso and food were delicious and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about not only the tasting experience, but in offering us helpful tidbits about the city. She taught us how to order espresso (a process I didn't realize would be so different from the U.S.!); that there were 2500 fountains all around Rome that offered free, clean drinking water; and relayed interesting cultural backstory about the statues and piazzas we passed. This guidance helped make our experience throughout the week so much smoother and more pleasant than it would have been. We ended up getting to try espresso prepared three different ways, two kinds of gelato, and a tiramisu. Our guide was so accommodating: The tiramisu place had sold out of it by the time we got there and she quickly ordered us tiramisu-espresso (bonus!) and booked us at another shop that made excellent tiramisu as well. Friendly, exciting, tasty way to start the week!
