The guide was excellent. ...
The guide was excellent. However this is more of a street food tour vs a food tour. It would be helpful for the description to be updated. As a street food tour - it would have been a great experience. Just not what I expected.

Informative and fun visit through history and food culture
A must do while in Rome to understand the more recent history of its people in the Jewish Ghetto. Farbrizia did an excellent relating and bringing to life some of the tragic historical details. On the lighter side we enjoyed the food tour and tasted so many things we would not have encountered on our own. Thank you.
