About the operator
- NedraInItaly00Yes Yes Yes to this tour!I highly advise this tour. Susan knows Perugia so well and my group really enjoyed all the places we went to. You sample everything from pastry to desert and of course vino! As you walk through the city you are given a history lesson as well. I will recommend this tour to all of my clients.
- jrj73600What a great tour!Rosie was an absolute delight! She was knowledgable and very personable. The tour was a little pricey, but it was with every penny! At each stop we had delicious food, and Rosie was able to give us a mountain of information in between each stop. The time flew by, and I really hope everyone has the chance to take a tour with Rosie!
- Emily A00Great time with diverse contentGreat service, diverse content and very personable guide. The food and wine was amazing and it gave great perspective to Perugia as a city as well as it’s loca identity.
- Mainman201700A Must Do in Perugia!If you are looking for hidden gems in this hidden gem of an Italian city, this experience is a must. Susan’s knowledge, charm, and attention to detail make you feel as though the tour was designed just for you or your group. A perfect balance of food, wine, and information. I highly recommend it.
- OregonWanderer201400OutstandingTruly a fun and educational experience. We were guided around the city by Susan, who explained the culture and history behind the food and wine of Perugia and Umbria with humor and insight. We experienced a variety of eating and drinking establishments ,each one a piece of the food picture of Umbria. Bravo Susan. Highly recommend!
- Anna J00Great Introduction to PerugiaEnjoyed a lovely tour with Susan today. We're staying about 30 mins outside of Perugia and wanted to see the city without necessarily hitting every tourist spot in town. We spent 4 hours eating and drinking our way round town with just the right amount of history and architecture thrown in too. The time we spent felt laid back but we were never left waiting or bored and we covered some ground (7,000 steps, not that I'm counting). We were made to feel at home at every stop by the proprietors, all of whom were proud of what they served and were eager to impress. We felt like we were let in to the best secrets. Susan knows everyone! If we were staying in Perugia itself, I feel like this tour would have set us up for a cracking few days of eating and drinking. I would return to every place we stopped at. Thanks Susan!
- kathleen p00SO ENJOYED! GREAT TOUR of 'all' of PerugiaWe had a limited time in Perugia and would never ever have learned or found all the secret eateries that Susan took us too. It was information and interesting. There was a great selection of food and a little wine/beer also. We never stayed too long anywhere-which we liked since we got to see all of Perugia. We appreciate all your knowledge and your expertness in navigating the city. Well worth it and AWESOME. I hope you remember us- SISTERS ( Teachers ) from New England! Kathleen, Eileen, Cynthia and Alice
- ContinentalTraveller00Not to be missed experience for food lovers when visiting PerugiaWe had the most amazing afternoon with Susan. She was informative, interesting and full of passion for her adopted city and it's food and wine culture. We ate our way through the most interesting streets in Perugia, meeting chefs, waiters, and breathing the stories of the City and what life is like here. We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Perugia and I plan to book my parents in when they are here in May. We learnt so much about the amazingly under-estimated Umbrian food and wine culture, at divine food and were swept up in the history of this amazing city. Don't miss this.
- Silvia G00Do not miss out when in Umbria!This culinary tour with Susan is a very unique experience, please do yourself a favour and book this tour when you are planning on visiting Perugia - or even when not, it is so worth it!!!! I loved all the little food stops with typical authentic Italian or better Umbrian specialities while we learned about Perugia and its sites. My personal favorite was the quaint restaurant where they served us truffle pasta. Susan is an awesome guide, a great character and fun to listen to with all her stories. Definitely highly recommended!!!!
- DianeMarieL00A must do tour when visitng UmbriaAnyone visiting the Perugia area the Foodie Walking Tour of Perugia is a must! Susan is an excellent tour guide of her beloved city. The foodie stops are chosen with care representing Susan's Perugia. Susan has special relationships with the shop owners and the tour participants are the lucky ones that benefit. Susan also provides historical commentary that is interesting but not too lengthy. We experienced a perfect day in Perugia!
- Alice K00Sensational! Red letter day!We could not recommend Sue's tour highly enough. The food was incredible - quintessentially Perguian and the choice of stops well though out and restaurant/shop owners were very hospitable. A very well thought out itinerary - even in the sweltering August heat the walk was pleasurable with many stops to rest and hydrate. Delicious goodies were available for purchase but no pressure to buy. Sue's foodie knowledge combined with her understanding of Italian culture made for a rich experience. The truffle pasta and pistachio gelato deserve mentions! Oh and the prosciutto!
- Drindle00Wonderful!!A fantastic day with Susan! Not just wonderful food and wine, but culture and history too! All presented in a warm and personable way :) I would highly recommend not to miss this!
- Skater17800Good way to Spend The DayWe met outside our first point to visit and Susan (our guide)handled introductions (there were 2 couples). From there on in we had a great time. A relaxed stroll around Perugia sampling local food and wine in different restaurants and shops. If you go on this don't have breakfast- you will have plenty to eat- all of it local, fresh and tasty. Susan was not only informative about the food and wine but also explained about different parts of the city and its history. .
- Jaiyla R00Delicious AdventureThis tour is fantastic! You gain a new perspective of the beautiful city center while getting fed by the best restaurants in Perugia. The woman running the tour really knows her information which makes it even better. You also get a sense of community on the tour and the welcoming nature in Perugia.
- Amy F00Fantastic tourSusan gave us the best tour of Perugian restaurants, complete with wine and Perugian craft beer. Her knowledge of the local cuisine is great and her friendliness makes for a fabulous experience! I'd recommend it highly and hope to come again!

This is our second time doing the tour. the first time was 2 years ago and we returned to do it again, this time with the entire family.
Covid-19 situation enforced some changes in the places we visited, which we found it very enjoyable not to repeat exactly the same itinerary. On the other hand, we were happy to return to the "highlights" from the previous tour.
This time, our guide was Richard (The owner's husband) who is a chef and as such, we've got different angle of information on Perugia and specifically on the food.
Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip in Italy this year. For sure, we will be back again.
Thank you Susan and Richard!

Hi Kobi!
Thank you so much for choosing to spend another day in Perugia doing my tour and for taking the time to leave this wonderful review! We deeply appreciate it. I'm thinking I should probably hire my husband full time, right? I am sorry I didn't get to meet the whole family this time and hope to see you again in Perugia. Safe travels! -Susan

Rick was amazing! He led us all across Perugia as we tried local cuisine- most of which is much harder to experience on your own. I highly recommend this tour in an effort to learn some history as well as get a full appreciation for the Perugian culture and food! Hands down it was a 10/10 experience and we ate some of the best food we have ever tried.

The small group tour ended up as a solo tour with just me, guided by Richard Corazza. We strolled around the beautiful City of Perugia, sampling great local produce and dishes. As we walked, Richard talked about its vast history and present day place in society, and the time flew. I had a brilliant time in good company. What more could anyone want!

Our first day in Umbria and the introduction couldn't have been better. Susan at Via del Vino was great to work with as we set up this visit - quick and helpful responses and even gave us recommendations of others to work with for tours elsewhere in Umbria. Her husband, Richard, led the tour. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Perugia and Umbria and also about the food scene in Perugia, having had his own restaurant. The food was delicious and plentiful, starting with espresso and pastry, ending with gelato, and enjoying several other treats in between (the strozzaprete with truffles and local olive oil was a standout). Highly recommended!

Perugia is known for exquisite chocolates and naturally this tour included an interesting voyage into chocolate making and of course tasting with a young and enthralling chocolatier. A local, long standing family spice shop with, among other delights, secret recipe botanical bitters & amaro tastings. A wineshop/restaurant titillated w/several local wines and homemade pasta with truffles. History, architecture and more tastes! A full and fully enjoyable 4+hours with our fun and knowledgeable guide Sue who has an easy and wonderful relationship with her town and the locals who make this tour unforgettable!

This tour is a must do for any going to (or anywhere near Perugia)! Sue could not have been more friendly, accommodating, or knowledgable. All the stops on the tour are legit (real local places, no tourist traps). The food at all the stops was outstanding. We learned a TON about the food, the culture and the history of Perugia in a way that was fun and accessible and held the interest and attention of our teenagers. Three generations of my family agree, this tour was the highlight of our trip.

Susan was one of those people that you meet once in a lifetime. She was the most knowledgeable and experienced guide that we had in a long time. Susan exceeded our expectations every moment of this tour. It was like being with a gracious host who took care of your every need to appreciate the best of what Perugia and the region had to offer. She gave us both general knowledge, tips and the best food/wine and much more then we expected. We will never forget the tour and wish that we could put her in our suitcase for the remainder of our 6 week trip through Italy.

Highly recommend Via del Vino tours! From the first exchange I knew we'd chosen the right tour. Being with Sue was like being with a friend. She took us to many local places for delicious food and we were always treated like VIPs. The history of the town is fascinating and there were so many things we learned. I am typically the "guide" in our family so it was a treat not to have to do the research myself. Last, after a BIG night two of us were not feeling so great the next morning. Sue was understanding and cared for us like a family member. She even had her husband, Richard, bring us stomach medicine. ;-). I cannot recommend Sue enough!

Thank you so much for joining our Taste Perugia tour and for taking the time to leave this fabulous review. I really enjoyed our time together and hope to reconnect the next time you are in Umbria. I’m happy I could also provide the needed remedy for a big night out. After all, what’s a little antacid among friends? 😁

Hello! My husband, myself and our 2 year old daughter will be vacationing in Italy next month, staying at a rental home very close to Perugia and wanted to do a day there (at least). I was curious if this tour is toddler friendly? Would we be charged for our daughter coming along with us? Thank you!

I doubt Sue will charge you for the toddler. She is nice and accommodating. The charge is mainly for the food so assuming your toddler isn't eating pasta/chocolate/cold cuts, should be fine.
As far as taking your toddler, keep in mind you will be walking from restaurant to restaurant in town. As long as you are comfortable with that, again should not be a problem.

We will be visiting the Umbria region from 10-20 thru 10-30. We would love to take this tour but wondered if it was still being offered during the Chocolate Festival in Perugia?

Ditto what the other two answers. Available dates will be on the web site.
We are arriving Nov. 23 and would love your tour early in our visit. We only have a week and would find your tour as a good place to get to know where to go to eat and see the sights. Would that be possible?
