Our tour guide was knowledgeable. Tour was basically held in a covered market. It was a nice tour, but the title of the tour was misleading. It wasn’t associated with streets surrounding the Vatican. However we would do the tour again because of the wine and food choices. Would liked to have had additional time in the market.
Our guide Christian was wonderful! Our group had troubles finding the starting point and Christian was really patient and waited for us! He was very informative and respectful. Our group of 4 don't drink wine or coffee, so he offered us some soft drinks. The food options we visited were broad and offered a large variety. I personally loved everything he presented! Delicious! He explained the history behind the food well also. All around great tour! Derek Lang, United States

Wow what an incredible experience. You have to DEFINITELY do this tour when in Rome. Marco was the best tour guide and we tried so many types of foods. Everything we tried was absolutely incredibly and nothing like I’ve tasted before. The wine and cheeses were phenomenal.
Marco, the food tour guide knows so much about food and everything about Rome. So much food and so much information and so satisfied.
Amazing tour! So authentic, anbso delicious and affordable! Marco is super friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was absolutely delicious! Such a nice tour, with an authentic Italian atmosphere away from the crowded tourist areas. Would definitely recommend to everyone.
