Excellent food and wine tour! Our guide, Michael, was fun and incredibly knowledgeable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We stopped for truffle tasting, cured meats, cheese, posh pizza, pasta and gelato — all absolutely delicious. The wine flowed generously throughout, and we also met a really lovely group of people along the way. A fantastic experience I’d highly recommend!

Presecco is my new favorite

Terri_T, May 2026

I do food tours everywhere I go..some tend to not give you the true authentic taste..This gave history and lots of variety. Michael was so much fun. He definitely kept your glass full and belly tight. I will definitely come back just to do it all over again with Michael. 1000% best tour

Peter_L, May 2026

We were guided around the Pretti area of Rome by Tina. She was great. She explained what wines to have our antipasti starters for bothe the cheese and meat. We visited 4 places in total. Pizza was the second stop, followed by pasta and then a Gelato. Everything was great.

Tour was worth the money!

Angela_C, May 2026

All the food we tried was amazing and a great variety. Tina gave us such a great explanation of everything about the food and culture. She was a great guide!

Mediocre experience.

Teresita_C, May 2026

It is like a street food n wine tour NOT a sit down. Also, I booked a Trastevere at 630 pm and they called last minute to cancel it and made it at 530 instead . i said yes knowing it will be in Trastever but ended up in Prati :(

Fun tour with great food & wine

John_T, Apr 2026

Our guide Tina was fantastic! She not only introduced us to the food and wine, but also explained their origins and history. We stayed in that part of Rome, and it was very close to Vatican City, with lots of wonderful restaurants. Every choice for restaurant / wine & food shop on the tour was excellent and very tasty. It was great being in an area with less tourists and more locals. Highly recommended!!

Not for those who are not physically fit.

Rhonda_L, Apr 2026

Not for folks who can’t stand for 2 1/2 hours straight. The leader and all of the stops were amazing but I personally prefer to sit and enjoy the wine and food selections. We only sit at the first and last stop. We were on our feet the rest of the time. After a day of walking and site seeing it was just too tiring.

Eating in Rome off the beaten track

Linda_W, Apr 2026

Jordano was a great guide! He knew a lot about the regional cheeses, meats, wine and pasta. We had a wonderful evening learning, laughing, eating & drinking - highly recommend!

Mia was amazing!

William_Z, Apr 2026

Mia was extremely knowledgeable and we learned, ate and laughed so much. This was an amazing experience!

Roman Food Tour - Terrific Night!

Mick_B, Apr 2026

The Prati Tour with Vivien guiding us was terrific! We started at La Nicchia Cafe where we warmed up with some DOP cheeses and pestos, some foods infused with different truffles, and had a nice Prosecco DOC. Next stop was the Bonci Pizzarium, with some unique pizza offerings and a nice red wine (the pineapple and potato pizza was delicious!). Il Segreto was next, where we had a sit down meal with plenty of tasty small plates (and more wine - there were options here and all were terrific!). Paciotti Salumeria was perhaps the highlight - a family owned business with multiple generations of handsome men working there and giving us a sampling of various meats and cheeses. Very entertaining! More wine here... To finish it all off, we headed to Lemongrass Gelateria. All these spots had amazing food and Vivien was a very entertaining guide, giving us a lot of background and telling a few funny tales of the area we toured through. Top notch food tour!

Roman Food Tour

Thomas_R, Apr 2026

Mia and Tommasso were entertaining and informative regarding the food consumed by Romans. The food was delicious and well complimented by the wines.

Fantastic food tour

H_F, Apr 2026

Michael was fantastic! He gave us a lot of information about Italian food and wine in a way that was entertaining and engaging. I thought there would be far too much food but the pace was such that despite a tastings of a lot of different foods we never felt stuffed (nor deprived). Grazie mille Michael!

Plenty of different foods...

Daniel_T, Apr 2026

Plenty of different foods to enjoy from street foods to great pasta and eine Vinny our guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time

The Roman Food Tour is not to be missed! Best food tour & guide!

Stacy_S, Apr 2026

This was an amazing food experience! Our guide, Vincenzo, was the BEST! He was so knowledgeable and thoroughly explained all of the foods, oils, wines, etc. we were tasting. We went to 5 different locations and offered wine at each one. We were cancelled from another food tour because my husband has a shellfish allergy. They cancelled us the day before we arrived in Rome. I didn't think I'd find another tour with such short notice but found the Roman food tour. I was hoping it would be good. I have to say, all 3 of us in my family were super impressed and loved every aspect of it. There's no way the other tours are this good, diversified or exquisite. And I have to say again, Vincenzo took it to another level with his food and wine knowledge. I HIGHLY recommend this tour!

Amazing experience! V was...

eorrange, Apr 2026

Amazing experience! V was knowledgeable, funny and friendly. Delicious food, walkable evening. I would do it again.

Food tour with Gio

Sabrina_G, Apr 2026

Giordano was awesome! He is personable and funny. The total food tour experience was great. I highly recommend it, you won't regret it.

Incredible tour with phenomenal food and a wonderful guide

Jade_S, Apr 2026

This was a fantastic trip. We did this on our honeymoon and it was great value for money. Our guide Irene was incredible and so knowledgeable and friendly. The locations that you attend, and the food and wine you drink are phenomenal. It is listed as "free flow wine" which is for the sitdown lunch. You have to ask for your glass to be re-filled though to get the "free flow" portion. The itinerary also stated you went to a Gelateria for the final stop, whereas we just had gelato at the pasta restaurant instead. Overall though, it was an absolute highlight of my trip to Rome.

I took a lot of food...

Anna_S, Apr 2026

I took a lot of food tours in Rome and other different countries and this one was by far the best one. You not only get to taste the good food, but the guide teaches you a lot about the food you are eating and the wine you are drinking. Definitely would take it again, and again.

Fantastic food

Chris_M, Apr 2026

Wonderful food and Vinny is a wonderful host. From the pesto to the cheese and the pizza and wine to the pasta, perfecto! Highly recommend this experience.

One of the highlights of our trip

David_M, Apr 2026

We had a great time on this food tour. The food and wine were excellent, with a really nice selection throughout. You go from bruschetta to cheese, to balsamic, to pizza, to pasta, and finish with gelato, walking from one place to another, which makes the whole experience feel very authentic. The group size was just right, not too big, which made it easy to connect with others. It’s a great way to meet people and have real conversations along the way. Our guide, Tina, was fantastic, funny, knowledgeable, and she truly elevated the experience with her personality. We wouldn’t hesitate to do it again, especially if we could have Tina as our guide.

Overall very fun...

William_A, Apr 2026

Overall very fun experience from start to finish. Jordano was a very entertaining and thorough tour lead. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun few hours.

I hope I’m spelling her...

Natalie_F, Apr 2026

I hope I’m spelling her name right, but Irena was amazing! She’s such a natural and has a real passion for her work. She even helped me order food from from the market to take home. The owner at our first stop was so kind to offer me an alternative option, without me even asking, when I was not a fan of the truffles. She also gave me a stain remover after I spilled on myself. If she sees this, it worked, and thanks again! I cannot recommend this experience enough if you want to have fun, enjoy delicious food and learn a lot!

Great food and guide!!!

Jonathan_G, Mar 2026

Great food and guide!!! Tina was a knowledgeable and personable guide, who made the tasting fun and educational! Come hungry because it’s a lot of food and all excellent!!!
