Francesca was a fantastic guide incredibly knowledgeable about the area food and history of Rome. We visited some amazing street food places and also enjoyed some local beer and wine, would highly recommend and wished we did the rip when we first arrived
We met Francesca under the statue of Bruno in Campo de’ Fiori. From there, we went on a delicious walking tour of the city, passing through areas I had not previously explored. My teens enjoyed the experience and tried new (and some familiar) foods. My daughter said it was a fun way to learn about the history of Rome. We highly recommend.
We loved this tour with Arianna! She was a lot of fun, and we enjoyed hearing about the history of the city, the food, and her experiences with both. It felt like we were stopping by friends’ homes for a quick drink and bite to eat. The food and drinks were delicious, and Arianna’s explanations took the experience to the next level. This tour was a fantastic way to learn and experience Roman history and culture. When booking this tour, ask for Arianna, and you will not be disappointed!
We tasted great food and adult beverages on this fun tour. Semona was a fun, informative tour guide. Well worth the price.
Great tour, learned a lot and ate a lot. The guide we had was very nice, helpfull and made our tour to an amazing experiance 👍🏻😊I am going to recommed my friends this wonderful tour. We had teen girls with us and they loved it too. Talk a lot about it since then :)
Although somewhat skeptical of the idea of a 'street food tour', my other half and I really enjoyed this evening experience in Rome. The selection of eateries was good, with a fair bit of variety, and there was enough to eat so that dinner was not required afterwards. We also learnt a lot about the area as well as the local food. Our guide was friendly, knowledge and well-organised. Finally, the tour represented good value-for-money, which can be a bit difficult to obtain in what is, these days, a trendy section of the tourist market in Europe..
The start of the tour was at a cozy market fiori flower market called in antiquity, the guide was sympathetic enthusiastic young man, we have eaten enough, only I found that the stall of balsamic vinegar and pesto where we tasted the vendors force you to buy more than you actually wanted, also my suitcase had to be opened at the airport because of the jars of pesto but was allowed to take, furthermore lots of pizza and other goodies, glass of wine, beer too. All in all a nice tour.
Mattia was an excellent guide. It wasn’t just the food that was great for our first evening in Rome, but I really appreciated the historical and cultural information Mattia had to offer.
Easy on line purchase.. tour guide was timely and knowledgeable food tour was wonderful great food wonderful time.
