Highly recommend! - First of all - our tour guide, Lucy, was amazing. She was incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly, and made sure we were all having a great time every step of the way. The food was delicious and I felt like we got some true taste of Italy. The pace of the stops was also really good considering we were out and eating for four hours. I was full at the end, but not in pain :-) I would highly recommend this tour for anyone. I was on the tour with my 17-year-old son and it was one of his favorite parts of the trip.

Amazing experience, and kid friendly! - We went on a midday four hour food tour with our two small children, so we were a little apprehensive with how they would do. Giada and those we met along the tour were fantastic. We couldn’t finish our last meal because we were so full, but happily had it packed up to finish eating after a few hours break :) We had a really great time and appreciated the little pearls of knowledge shared along the way. Everything was very high quality and delicious. Would absolutely recommend!

Must do tour ! - We enjoyed this tour so much. It was so interesting and informative. Our guide Martina was so helpful and welcoming and made the tour such a joy. We were with a really nice group of people and swapped stories along the way too. The food and wine was amazing. My favourite was the Prosecco ! It was a real highlight of our holiday in Rome. I would really recommend this tour as it is such good value for money and so well organised. Thank you Martina

Best food tour in Rome - We booked this tour as it was close to the Vatican and we had no idea it was going to be the best tour we have ever been on. The tour takes you into a residential area so you can see what the real city looks like. We started with freshly made cannoli and coffee and continued with the best pizza in the world (the toppings were out of this world and the dough was the crunchiest we have ever had), happy hour with Prosecco, meats and cheeses, truffles and balsamic. The highlight was the visit to the local market where we had the most delicious and fresh Buffalo mozzarella, roman meats, natural wines, freshly baked eggplant parmigiana. And that wasn’t all ! We also had the best pasta and natural gelato to finish. The guide was friendly, warm and gave us a ton of useful information. We absolutely loved it and we recommend it 10/10.

Amazing food tour - We booked this tour because the neighborhood is close to the Vatican and we wanted to eat before our Vatican visit and be close to it. We read the reviews and had high hopes, but the experience turned out to be so much better than what we could have ever imagined. We started our day with freshly made cannoli, filled in the spot with ricotta cheese. The fact that the Italians have dessert for breakfast must be why they’re all so happy. We proceeded to have the best pizza in the world. I am still thinking about that crunchy dough and the crazy combinations of toppings. We visited a local market, which was a real highlight. We had natural wines, fresh Buffalo mozzarella, cured meats, hand made pasta, gelato and also learned so many fun things. Definitely better than the Vatican tour. If you need to pick one thing to do in Rome, go on this tour.

Amazing tour with great food, wine and people! - I couldn’t think of a better way of exploring the Roman lifestyle! This tour has it all. We started with the most delicious cannoli I ever had and a great cappuccino (we’ve learnt so much about the local habits, I now know better what to ask for) We went on to have some amazing pizza made by one of the most famous pizza makers in the world, and that pizza is so good I can see why he got so notorious. Afterwards our lovely guide took us for yet another tasting of Italian specialties and prosecco (lots of it!) she explained everything for us and she made sure we all enjoyed the foods, she was a really great host! Next came the market and that was so much fun, with so many delicious things around there and all the local grandmas buying fresh ingredients for the day, it was incredible! Afterwards we went on for lunch to a locally loved restaurant and had fresh pasta and lots of delicious wine (no wonder they do a siesta after lunch!) and we had a traditional tiramisu for dessert and it was all divine! All the staff, our guide, the waiters, the chef, they all took such great care of us, it made our experience even more special. Thank you all and see you next time!
