Great guide and delicious food! - We happened to be a few minutes late to the tour and had to contact the company to find out where the group was. We missed the first stop but the group waited for us at the second stop and had wine and snacks waiting! Lesson learned - make sure you’re on time! Other than the delayed start, this was such a fun and yummy tour! Our guide, John, was engaging and knowledgeable, and the group was made up of fun folks! Do this at the beginning of your trip to have lots of places to return to!

Phenomenal food tour with Fernanda! - My wife and I had the pleasure of a wonderful food tour with Fernanda on our very first day in Rome, Italy. As this was our first trip to Italy we did not know what to expect but we were simply blown away by the various selections of Italian cuisine that Fernanda introduced us to. From fried artichoke to bianca & rosa pizza, to great selections of street foods and excellent wines and beers we dined like royalty. We were also very impressed with all the local history that Fernanda provided during the tour. I cannot recommend her or this tour highly enough.

Awesome Food Tour! - I went on December 1, 2023 and Ilharia was our tour guide and she was fantastic, the food was amazing, and I learned so much. Loved the fried artichoke flower, the fried cod, the suppli (I know I spelled it wrong), the pork sandwich, and the gelato! Ilharia was very energetic and her enthusiasm for the food and Roman culture was infectious! I loved how we were supporting local small businesses and the quality of the food and all the history and culture you learn from the tour is top notch! Highly recommend!

Delicious tastings in Rome - A great evening walking through Rome, exploring the Jewish and Histotic Quarters tasting wonderful food. The pizza ebraica was amazing and I had to buy some for the next day. The suppli and ciambella were delicious And the porchetta sandwich was out of this world. Definitely recommend doing this tour at the start of your time in Rome.

A wonderful way to explore the city and eat delicious food 😋 - What a wonderful evening of food and knowledge! Manuela our guide was so passionate and engaging, she kept the whole group going and made it interesting for all. We went with our two children aged 10 and 13, they both loved all the food and loved trying new local delicious goodies. So much local knowledge and recommendations, I just wish we were here longer to try them all!

Poorly executed walking tour - This tour is mislabeled. It is a walking street food tour that begins in the Jewish Quarter. The food was fine. Restrooms not available at some of the stops. Water not shared at every stop. We were lucky to sit at one stop but could not fit all 12 of us. Guide did not share history of what we were eating. Guide spent too much time standing in line and negotiating to get our food. Quality of food was fine but the tour was a joke. Other guests felt the same way and we enjoyed joking about the poor planning and execution of the tour.
