Additional Information
Were you aware that in Rome, it’s possible to enjoy a ‘walking beer’? This excursion lets you taste an assortment of Italian beers whilst a guide leads you through Rome’s historical heart, sharing interesting facts about its past and sights along your path. Pizza kicks off the journey preparing you to saunter and sip your way around the city, progressing to 2 beer stops and finishing with a conventional Aperol Spritz (or an additional beer if that’s more to your liking).
This is no ordinary pub crawl; it’s an adventure that fuses the city’s food and beverage culture, letting you traverse Rome’s avenues like a true local. The standout feature of this tour is the company of a lively, proficient tour guide, who enthusiastically engages, answers your queries, and ensures you have an equally amazing time discovering the Eternal City. There’s no pre-script here, every guide is an expert and geared up to enjoy the tour as much as you are!

Great trip and super guide - Fantastic guide (Paul) who we had all to ourselves - there were only 2 people on the trip. We learned a great deal about the ancient Roman Empire and about Italy during the Second World War. And of course about Italian beer :-)
Highly recommend this tour, and especially Paul. Super nice company.

Good despite not what we were expecting - So…we were expecting a group to do this with, but apparently it’s often just a couple. So NOT what we were expecting BUT our tour guide was so great it was a fun time!

Would give six stars if I could - The tour guides on this tour have been some of our favorites! They strike a balance between being incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Roman history, as well as the history of Italian beer. We didn't want this tour to end!

Book this tour! - This tour was an absolute blast! We learned Roman history that we hadn't learned on other tours around the city and got to drink some beer along the way. My only wish is that we would've done this tour on our first night in Rome because our guide gave us so many good suggestions on other places to visit and restaurants to try. I would absolutely recommend!

Best tour I’ve been on - I’d recommend this one - I’ve done a few of these before in other cities but I have to say this is the best one I’ve been to. You meet the guides and get a pizza before walking across the city to get a few drinks along the way. It was the perfect mix of talking about the history of Rome from the times of Caesar - learned about some controversy about him - to more Modern times. Angela was a great guide, a good laugh, really knowledgeable and a total pro.
Ps I am writing this from jail… (you’ll get this joke after you do the tour) Thanks again we had a blast.
