My friend and I did a private wine tour and both state it was the best we've ever been on. I have…read moredone wine tours in other areas of Italy, as well as in France, Croatia, Greece, and many areas of the US... none compare to the personable experience had with Stefano. He picked us up from the train station as predetermined and immediately started sharing information and points of interest on our drive to visit the town of Barolo. We toured the town, learned knowledge, he took our photos when wanted (hey we are women living in the age of Instagram), and bought us coffees and a bite to start the day. We visited 2 wineries in Barolo (as I requested when booking), with lunch in between at a restaurant with a stunning view and delicious food (cost not included in tour fee). The 2 wineries we visited were great, first a more modern family owned one and second a more homely own one. At both, Stefano and the winery owners gave us knowledge on the wines, the area, and food pairings. Stefano was very easy to speak with and it was fun asking his opinion on Italian and wine culture, etc.. as well as sharing ours. It was like spending the afternoon with a knowledgeable funny friend. I was insistent on not visiting a Babaresco winery as I am a HUGE Barolo fan but Stefano insisted we should try one if there is time (and luckily there was). We visited a winery owned by two sweet older men and tried over 10 wines there and sat chatting. I will forever remember this experience and 100% credit it to our wonderful guide. To know: The guide picked the wineries and restaurant based on the price point we wanted since that was an additional cost. Everything else was included in price (pickup/drop off, wine tasting at all wineries and snacks too). We visited: Pira, Cantina Stroppiana, and Grasso and also tasted (at additional fee) a tasting of Gaja wine at a shop while visiting the town of Barolo. In addition to the wineries we saw many sites and learned a lot of history not only about wine but the area. 100% recommend!

My friend and I booked the "Palermo Street Food" tour on another website and all went perfectly well. Communication was excellent with reminders beforehand and then a text message the day before with the instructions for the meeting. We (two Americans) arrived a little bit early and the young lady conducting our tour was already waiting. Two other guests (a married Chinese couple) arrived a few minutes early and we were on our way. Well over three hours of walking, eating, drinking and talking. Just four of us with Federica and we stopped at two sit down restaurants and two sit down street food spots. All interesting and lots of cultural information on Palermo along the way. I would really recommend taking this tour early in your visit to Palermo so that you can really get a lay of the land and acclimate to the city for your visit. Arancina, cheeses, fried panino, cannolo, Italian wine, Italian beer and at the end of the tour, I was stuffed. So stuffed that I couldn't even eat the last snack on our final stop. Federica's English was excellent and I learned a lot while eating a lot. It was a fab tour and much fun. (Hey, Yelp people. Please don't merge this with the Genova business. If you do that, people won't find this when they search "food tour Palermo".) [Review 12801 overall, 115 of 2020.]

Do Eat Better now refuses to even respond to our requests for refund. Now that we are 5,000 miles away, they must know that we have little recourse. Beware that once they have your money they are likely never going to give you a refund, regardless of circumstances. In our case, they provided nothing in the way of services, yet kept our money.
