This is an amazing wine and food tasting tour! And while your walking from place to place you learn a lot of history of the area. Highly recommend this as one of the first things to do when you get in town to help learn about the area and get a quick tour to orient yourself and get recommendations of places to see and experience. Everything we tasted was wonderful and we loved seeing the city in a new way. As someone who has visited Rome many times, I really enjoyed this tour and would do it again.
Fantastic local guide, very friendly and positive attitude. Lovely evening , the food and wine tour was a perfect evening planned activity a few days before leaving the city.
Fun and wonderful experience walking through neighborhoods in Rome and learning about many different foods and wines of the area.
Definitely would recommend this tour, we had Catia as our guide her English was brilliant there was lots of food tasting & wine plus history of Rome we had a fab time meeting lots of people & different cultures we would do it again thank Catia for a great evening
Mitya was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable and humorous. The restaurants we excellent and the wine even better
Our tour was fun and the food was great! Our tour guide Catina was very informative. It is a lot of walking down the stone streets. The group made it fun too.
The tour was unimaginative and majority of the food stops were not in Trastevere. The food was mediocre accompanied by cheap wine. There are much better options available in Rome. I would advice against this one.
A bit disappointing but still fun. Thought we should have been welcomed at each spot with a table and seats but instead half the restaurants, we had to stand. Felt like the restaurant wanted to quickly throw us food and get us on our way. For price paid, I thought differently I guess! Also, we were left at last spot to find our way back where we first met. I thought organizer/leader should have walked us back to where we started. Some in the group, it was their first time in Rome so it isn’t likely they knew how to get back.
Meeting new people & trying local produce very enjoyable we would recommend this tour to our friends and family
Great guide.. It was a wonderful experience to someone who is traveling solo to meet new people and enjoy the tasting of Rome. I would recommend this tour
