Had the most amazing time trying all of the food. Michael was an absolutely amazing guide!
Michael our guide was absolutely amazing. He explained in detail each food where it came from and made the tour so much fun. The food was fabulous, by the time we got to the end we couldn't eat another bite
First, do this tour. Second, do this tour very early during your stay in Rome. Why that second part? It will inform you on what you'll be eating during the rest of your stay, and what to look for amongst all the amazing authentic Italian food and drink options you'll have during your stay. You'll also be very full by the end of the tour. Side note: We spent time over 10 days in three European countries and did 6 different tours. All were either good or great tours, but we wished we had the tour guide for every tour that we had with this tour. He was by far the most selectively informative, engaging, and genuinely friendly. I know sometimes reviews get moved if you put someone's name in them, but you'll likely know you got him when you do - a great dude from up-state New York, but a seasoned Rome veteran foodie... Thank you sir!!!
We just had the best time with Vincenzo! He was fun, down-to-earth, and hilarious. We had 12 people in our group, and it just felt like the 4 of us were going out with friends, eating food and having a great time. The food was amazing, and the owners were welcoming to our group. I would 100% recommend this tour and look forward to Vincenzo opening up his own restaurant in 2028!
Food wasn't great on this tour. So much wine...and it was fun, but food wasn't great. Our tour guide was a good time and if the food would have been better I'd give this tour a good review.
What a fun night filled with food and wine! We were able to enjoy restaurants known to locals with authentic food made by Roman chefs. The restaurants were quaint and Giordano was warm, welcoming, and funny. It was a lot of fun for both my elderly mother and young adult son and daughter.
We loved our tour guide Alessandra! She was wonderful and made the tour very special!!! Her English was excellant and took the time to give us a wonderful food tour! We were very full at the end of the tour! Wonderful experience!
Michael was knowledgeable with interesting, fun facts. He was friendly and made all feel welcome. The food was amazing. I definitely recommend this tour.
Michael was outstanding, the food was magnificent, and walking around Prati was incredibly enjoyable. I loved seeing the various markets and tasting the different foods. I would do this again.
The food and drinks were fantastic. On their own they would have been great, but it was the guide Michael that really took this to the next level. He explained the origins of the food and drinks in a way that was interesting and fun. To learn about each bite and sip made us appreciate it all the more. We have done a few food and drinks tours in different European cities and this one was a stand out in enjoyment.
