    The City of Chocolate

    It was a wonderful tour exploring Perugia as well as having a delicious lunch. Richard was extremely knowledgeable with the hospitality history of the city!

    Response from the operator: Hello Anna Maria, Thanyou for joining us on our Taste Perugia Food Tour and for taking the time to leave us the wonderful review!

    So much more than we expected

    Richard provided a unique experience that was so much more than we expected. From niche restaurants and shops to wonderful commentary and factoids, a wonderful way to enjoy Perugia in a 3 1/2 morning stroll.

    Response from the operator: Hi Darlene, Thanks so much for taking the time to join us in Perugia and for leaving us this wonderful review. We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and your time in this beautiful town!

    American Foodie Does Perugia

    We had a great time with our small group. Richard was our guide and was very knowledgeable about a lot of things. We learned about regional olive oil, wine and foods. Also some Perugian history of some of the buildings, what the different names of dining establishments mean. It was a beautiful day and a great time. I highly recommend it. The Black Truffle pasta was delicious.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for joining us in Perugia and for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review! We're so happy you enjoyed the tour!

    Richard is an excellent...

    Richard is an excellent guide-enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We walked all over old Perugia and visited some small long-established artisanal procedures from pasticcheria to truffles to chocolate to gelato with local wine and beer. A thoroughly enjoyable morning!

    Response from the operator: We're so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fantastic review. We hope to see you back in Perugia some day.

    Great food filled day!

    Our guide, Richard, is an ex-pat who has lived in Perugia for over a decade. He provided great information about the city, region and food. Tastings were excellent (the chocolate was my favorite). Fun way to explore a new city. Tip- don’t cut the pasta. Swirl it on your fork. Trust us- we learned the hard way. 😂

    Response from the operator: Hi Susan, Italians have a lot of rules about food but the swirling of pasta rather than cutting is one that actually makes a lot of sense! :-) We're so glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for leaving us this terrific (and fun) review!

    Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perugia.

    How much does Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $111 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perugia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive) take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perugia is not rushed.

    Is Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 203 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Perugia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive)?

    +

    Around 71 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perugia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perugia and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perugia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Perugia?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Perugia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Taste Umbria: Full Meal Walking Tour in Perugia by Do Eat Better, Organic cooking class with a sommelier in an Olive and wine farm, E-Bike Tour near Assisi with Wine Tasting & Winery Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Perugia?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Perugia?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive)?

    +

    Included: Historical insights along the route; 2 Wines and 1 craft beer tastings; Licensed Local Guide; and 10 Food Tastings. Not included: Gratuities for guides; and Hotel pickup and dropoff. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive)?

    +

    Please arrive at least 5-10 minutes early outside of Turan Cafe (not Turreno) in a group of stores just past the interse. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive) offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive) if the weather is bad?

    +
