Underwhelming. The tour is not for foodies. We expected more of a culinary experience. Instead we went to a street side “deli” for the charcuterie and a fast food stand for the meat portion of the tour. We ate a small portion of meat on paper plates. For the 2nd course, we visited a nicer restaurant for the pasta. That was good, but uninspiring. We capped it off with a stop at a gelato shop for dessert. There’s gelato shops on every corner in Italy. Nothing remarkable. I wasn’t allowed to choose an ice cream sandwich since it was slightly more expensive than a single scoop cone. All the places we visited were better suited for college kids on a budget. I expected way better than the $272 cost. Another example of a dumb tourist being ripped off. Who don’t I contact for a refund? No value for the price.
