Great way to spend an evening - Our guide was Matteo and he gave a marvelous tour, very knowledgeable about the origins of the food and drinks but also about the historical significance of the areas we visited. I would definitely recommend the tour . It was 4 hours in total , we covered a wide area but at a leisurely pace and all on level ground. Excellent

A highlight of our trip! - My boyfriend and I had such a great evening on this food tour. The tour guide, Andrea, was very knowledgeable and took us to lots of interesting spots in the area in and around Piazza Navona. We took a relaxed stroll and there was just the right balance of walking and eating. The food was delicious! The variety was great too - it gave us the chance to try so many Italian classics that we otherwise might have missed. We were in a group of 9 and there was more than enough to go round. Overall we were full and very happy by the end of the evening!

Fantastic food tour - We loved this food tour. We did the lunch time tour with Andrea and it was great, we had 6 different food stops, plus the market. The food was perfect and Andrea took us to some hidden sights along the way too. His local insights were really interesting and our teenage son thought this was the best thing we did!
