    Inside Tairmina

    "We found our tour with Asya to be incredibly informative, interesting, insightful and presented with great depth, passion and knowledge. We spent over two and a half hours in her company and were engaged throughout. The food side of the tour, as much as was delicious, let the tour down. At the price point we expected something more and on reflection felt underwhelmed. "

    Food tours in Taramino

    "We had a good tour in Taramino wit Asya. Asya it extremely well versed in the history of Taramino. All the food stops were excellent. We had some of the best cannolis I’ve ever had. We had excellent gelato. The rice balls we had we both made up of tomato and pistachio. The final stop was ours, calamari, eggplant, Parm, and a bottle of wine He certainly got your moneys worth out of the store. She was very pleasant and did an excellent job."
