Traveler reviews
Marco was an amazing tour...
Marco was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable on the food of Rome as well as the history of the city! He was very kind and made sure everyone was taken care of! Definitely a great way to explore the city and try some new food!
Great Experience
The guide was fabulous and waited for two people who were over 20 minutes late so they could join. She shared so much history and the food was wonderful! We were so full at the end and it was a great experience to hear from an expert about what we were eating and why. On reviews I read, people complained about the artichokes, but we loved them. All the food was simple and delicious.
Amazing Eats and Stories
Francesca was an amazing guide, she was friendly and very knowledgeable! Not only did we get to try some absolutely amazing foods, we got to learn lots about the history of not just Rome, but the whole central region of Italy. If you are going in July like we did, bring a water bottle! There are at least two fountains along the route.
Rome food fun for all ages
Our Rome food tour was excellent with Mattia! Learned about Rome neighborhoods, culture and food!! Our ages ranged from 15-58 and we all enjoyed our time.
Good food great guide
Great time with Chiara who taught us a lot about Rome’s food as bc a little history. There were 5 stops - 3 savory and 2 sweet. She made sure to accommodate for any vegetarians too. Was really fun!
