We chose this food tour to get us out of the crazy hustle and bustle and explore Prati. It fulfilled that goal and was really lovely. James offered four excellent stops and also knew when to lean in and chat, but also back off and let us have our own time. Great all around. Each of the food stops offered local, regional, or national treasures. 100% recommend.
Ciao Michael! Thank you so much for your review, we are glad that you enjoyed the tour with us!
We had a wonderful evening with our guide, James. He was knowledgeable not only about the food but also its cultural significance, the local production of many foods, and the great regional pride of the Italian people for their unique recipes. This is a must-do tour for anyone who truly has an affinity for food. With food and water being a core essential to any culture, this tour was a perfect blend of historical and contemporary information and food and agricultural facts!
Ciao Andrea! Many thanks for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed the tour with James. He specialises in this type of tour, in that he can bring his local, and cultural, knowledge and mix it with the historical. He always gives a fantastic tour. We hope to see you guys back in Rome soon. Safe travels!
Some of the food we had never had a chance to taste before, like the water buffalo cheese. It was an exciting and interesting tour.
Ciao Claudia! We are so glad that you enjoyed your tour. The guide Pablo is great at his work. We hope the rest of your time in Rome was as enjoyable. Safe travels!
