Stop At: Lake Como Food Tours, _Piazza 20 Settembre, 23 Tourist Information Office, 23900 Lecco Italy

Your walking tour takes place in Lecco’s historic center, where you'll indulge in tastings at several eating spots.

As you satisfy your appetite with salty finger food, your guide shows you the nooks and crannies of the town, rich with history and tradition, hidden away from common guidebooks. Discover Alessandro Manzoni and Lecco’s architect Giuseppe Bovara while sampling the finest prosciutto, mortadella, and bresaola, all accompanied by varieties of tasty focaccia. If you are a cheese lover, you are in the right place, with an abundance of dairy delights such as Taleggio, goat cheese, and varieties from the surrounding alpine pastures. And finally, depending on availability, taste the local polpetta called Mondeghilo and some freshwater fish from Lake Como. Lunch and dinner will be served in a typical restaurant renowned for highlighting the ancient lake and land flavors in its dishes. This is the best time to relax and get to know your travelling companions while enjoying a delicious pasta dish accompanied with a glass of local Valtellina valley red wine finishing with our famous Italian espresso.

Excellent tour, with very good local cultural knowledge and a range of drinks and foods reflecting the Lecco area. Alessandra apologies if not spelt correctly was a very good guide, with excellent explanations and knowledgeable enough to handle all the questions we threw at her. She paced the tour to suit our capabilities. My only disappointment was to get to taste only one wine, and a lower quality one at that, having been briefed about the higher quality wines of the area.

Food Tour was a good way to experience old town Lecco and its various food items.

Our tour guide was warm and friendly, though we were a little disappointed that the tasting experiences were done out on the street and standing up, it would have been more pleasant by perhaps by being able to sit down at the end of the tour perhaps in a cafe to taste our samples.

Two very good guides! Got to learn a lot about the history of Lecco and Italy and also taste a lot of italian delicatessen. Win-win! Very friendly and very caring. Our highest recommendations! Greetings from the family from Sweden!
