This is a must do tour. Aliessa our guide is amazing. Very good historical knowledge and also knows her food. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour. Lucky it was a private tour, but a group would work also.
Luca gave us the BEST tour of Rome through food! We tried many new foods and neighborhoods. He walked at a great pace as we are slow walked and was mindful of that. He was great to communicate with and we enjoyed hearing his great stories of Rome, both old and new!
The food tour and associated sightseeing was well worth the $! Luca was a perfect tour guide, so knowledgeable about the city and local food!

This tour was simply amazing! To start, our guide, Luca, was absolutely fantastic. He was down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and incredibly patient throughout the experience. He was also very mindful of our schedule, as we had another tour booked shortly after this one ended. Our entire group thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him—we honestly could have spent the whole day together! The food was outstanding, and each stop was more unique and delicious than the last. Luca was extremely knowledgeable, sharing the history behind both the restaurants and the dishes we sampled, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
