Amazing experience. Ariana was charming and informative. We had lots of great food on the tour and plenty of information on how to navigate Roman menus. A little bit of history thrown in and stories about her life. Would absolutely recommend to anyone, not just vegans. 🌱💚
Arianna was a wonderful tour guide - very passionate about the city and the food. I was a little nervous as a solo traveller but she did an amazing job of introducing me to the group so I felt at ease and chatting away immediately. The food was fantastic and it was a wonderful introduction to the city! I would recommend it early in your trip as you’ll want to go back to all the places again and try her other wonderful recommendations! Would 100% recommend to any vegans or vegan-curious visitors to Rome!
This experience was much more fun than I expected! Not only did we learn about Roman food that is naturally Vegan, we also got a little history lesson along the way! Our tour guide was the most fun, friendly, and entertaining, than I have ever had! I highly recommend this tour! 👏🏽😊👍🏾
Our tour guide Arianna was incredibly friendly and personable, and made a real effort to get to know myself and my partner. She was incredibly passionate about veganism and very knowledgeable about which restaurants had naturally and modified vegan food. We ate so much much delicious food from several different restaurants, while learning about the unique aspects of Roman cuisine. We had everything from appetizers, main courses to deserts. Vegan Suppli are so tasty!! If you’re a vegan traveling to the eternal city this tour is a must
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled that Arianna made your tour enjoyable and informative, and that you loved exploring vegan Roman cuisine. It’s great to hear you had such a memorable experience!
Arianna was so passionate and friendly. The food was delicious and there was heaps of it! Afterwards I felt much more confident navigating Roman restaurants - Adrianna showed us a vegan restaurant but also taught us about Roman dishes that are vegan by default. It was so helpful, well-organised, and great fun!
Arianna was so kind and knowledgeable! There was plenty of food on the tour. More than I could even eat. Highly recommend this tour!!
This tour was such a fantastic surprise! Honestly, I didn’t expect to eat so much and learn so much about Rome. Everything was absolutely delicious, but the supplì was my favorite—oh my, that alone is worth the trip! Do the tour with Arianna, she is truly passionate!
First of all, you don’t have to be a vegan to enjoy this fun and tasty tour! There was a wonderful variety of dishes and restaurants. Arianna provided us with great information about how to navigate the menus in Rome. We got to explore new menu items, like fried artichoke and suppli. Finally, our host was so informative about the historical sights we visited along the way. So fun to hang out with an entertaining and knowledgeable local!
