This was amazing! I learned more about the history of Rome on this tour than I did after a week of being here. Ramona was truly personable. She even surprised me with a birthday candle inside on top of a suppli and everyone sang happy birthday at one of our stops! So yeah, please book.
Fun and yummy experience for all ages. Kids and adults learned a lot. Guide was very friendly and helpful. Everyone enjoyed this despite the mid-day heat.
Took the evening tour (6pm) because the weather was unbearably hot. Originally had booked the 11 am and it was very easy to switch to the 6pm tour the day prior. We went to 5 stops and sampled: 5 different types of salami plus red wine, suppli, Jewish fried artichoke, margherita and zucchini pizza from Roscioli and ended with gelato. Marco was our guide and extremely friendly. Took the tour with my husband and 2 kids 9 and 12 yo (they had Fanta instead). We had a great time including my children and would definitely recommend this tour.
Absolutely wonderful experience, our tour guide Romona is extremely well informed, friendly and made the experience unforgettable! She answered all our questions and shared alot of historical facts about the city, i definitely recommend this tour the food was wonderful.
Very historic- Ramona- was extremely well versed in historic knowledge and culture of the city. Unfortunately it was stifflingly hot, otherwise the experience was fantastic. Food selections were good.
Marco was great, he was very informative and knowledgeable about the history of the places and foods we sampled. He was also very accommodating to the group. I definitely recommend doing the tour with him.
Ramona was so sweet. Great tour, good food choices. I would add a pasta and remove one of the other stops. But my kids really enjoyed it!
Christian was really nice, easy to understand and very engaging. He kept a good pace for everyone to follow without rushing and friendly and entertaining. The different foods were delicious and a good amount both as value for money and in ratio to the amount of walking. We were a very happy group!
Had a great time, it was fun and host was awesome. Tried a wide variety of food including beer and wine.
