Marina was an excellent guide. She introduced us to authentic local foods we most likely would never have ventured to try. They were delicious. She also gave us great insight in how the current neighborhoods developed into the multigenerational family businesses of modern times. Her knowledge was indepth, and she was very friendly, personal, and interesting.

Be prepared to walk but also eat - ALOT. Great way to see parts of the city we might not travel to on our own and learn some history.

Keep in mind that I lucked out on my experience, as it ended up being a solo "VIP" tour, even though it was not scheduled as such. JJack was an amazing tour guide - knowledgeable, fun to be around, and we enjoyed talking food, personal lives, and vacations during our 2.5 hour tour. You will get to experience both Italian and Chinese cultures on the tour and it was nice to get a look into how those peoples live their lives, even if it is only a microcosm of Italy and China themselves. Do show up with an appetite because you will eat a lot of food! I myself am a relatively big eater and I had plenty of leftovers after the experience, so do pace yourself and feel no pressure to completely eat everything, but do at least try each item as they all are delicious.
