Itinerary
Meet your guide on Tiber Island, the only urban island of the Tiber river and learn the this small island shaped like a ship. Start the tour in the medieval side of Trastevere. Your guide will take you to the Church of Santa Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians, and your first stop will be in one of Rome's oldest bakeries.
Trastevere remains very traditional and boasts the presence of many old-school craftsmen and traders. Discover their work, unchanged by modernity, like the cold cuts store where you can taste salami and cheese cured in the local Italian tradition.
Then, move to the heart of the district, in piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere. After visiting the homonym church, tasting will continue with one of the most famous typical Roman Street food: the supplì, a deep fried rice ball filled with cheese, tomato mozzarella egg. From one stop to another you will also discover one of the oldest and best pizza shop of the district. Your guide will show you the off-the beaten paths of this area, and help you to familiarize with the area, full of restaurants of local cooking or bar and pub where young locals use to spend their night having fun with friends. Not only salty tastings, but also sweets!
Before enjoying the gran finale with a savory, fresh made gelato, you will step on Sistus bridge on the Tiber, and take pictures of the big Cupolone, the Saint Peter's dome that reveals itself on background. You will love this tour and Trastevere too!

As 5 adults we were very surprised at the amount of food we got along our tour! At the end we were all SOOOO full! Ramona was an amazing tour guide and took us to some great local spots we never could have found on our own!
Long enough and good food variety. The guide Kiarra was informative without being information overload. She was friendly and humorous.
Marco was an amazing guide! We had a great time. Loved the food and the history. We wish we had done it our first day in Rome so we could have gone back to more of the places.
Very friendly and kind host. So much fun. Grounds where very beautiful. Family and coworkers were very friendly. Loved it.....
Nice tour with passionate guide, the group was a little to big what made it difficult to communicate with the guiede.
Such a unique way to see the area, learn some history and taste plenty of delicious local options. Offers the opportunity to taste things you may not find on your own.
Marco was awesome. We were stuffed by the end of our tour. Suppli was delicious. Trastevere area is a must see.
This was a great food tour that I would highly recommend. Our tour guide Daniele was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We were running about 10 minutes late to meet up with the tour and he waited for us. The food we had was some of the best that we tasted in Rome. Would highly recommend this.
Luca - born and raised in Rome - was extremely knowledgeable about the food and culture of the city. We really enjoyed the experience.. the walk he chose and the food. We’ve been referencing his tour since! Sign up.. enjoy!
Francesca was great! She was really knowledgable and knew so much about the history of the food and the place. We took more photos of Trastevere than of the food, but it was an excellent selection of eats. We loved this tour!
