Good guide but group too big

Guide was wonderful. Provided lots of historical information. Downside is we do not consider 20 people a small group. Be aware of group size. Food items listed were not provided. Disappointed to not have the “zuchini blossom” per the listing of food items.

Roma food tour

Great foodie tour, our guide, Mattia was fantastic. Educated us on foods and misconceptions about “Italian food/eating”. He took the time to explain and talk about regional preparations of pizza and other foods Roma and Italy are know for. The food stops were amazing wouldn’t have found these places on our own. Mattia even added some interesting history and culture to the food stops along the way that made it more enjoyable than just stopping and eating. 5 plus stars.

Fantastic Food Tour

Something different. This was a fantastic experience. It was really interesting seeing an area I probably wouldn’t have visited and the food was delicious. Francesca our tour guide was so knowledgeable.

Dinner and history on the go!

Informative snd tasty experience with Francesca! We learned that Italy has more of a “take away” food culture vs. a traditional “street food” culture like other countries. A mix of history, sight seeing, and new foods made for a nice dinner where you didn’t have to think about where you were going to eat and also gained insight on local cuisine.
