Food was good, however the guide was way too novice. He didnt know what was in the dish. He was giving non useful information and had no knowledge about food.

Marco_A, May 2026
Good variety of food, wine and cheese. Tour guide gave insightful information about living in Rome too!

Incredible food tour!

Sam_R, May 2026
A food tour in Rome is a “must do” activity! We booked this tour for our first night in Rome and were not disappointed. Our guide was excellent, engaging and very knowledgeable of the food scene. The food and wine at each stop was plentiful and delicious. Our guide gave us suggestions for dinner for our other nights in Rome and his recommendations were spot on. Our tour was a highlight of our vacation!

Food tours are a must and this one didn’t disappoint! Great guide, food, and met some really nice people from other areas.

Response from Host, May 2026

Hi Tiffany, Thank you for the review! I'm so glad to hear the tour lived up to your expectations. You're right—food tours are a "must," and there’s nothing quite like exploring Trastevere with a great guide and a fun group of people. We're thrilled you enjoyed the food and the company! We hope to see you again for another delicious adventure soon!

Disappointed with Tour

Tammy_L, May 2026
The tour did not meet our expectations. The Food portions were decent. The guide lacked presentation skills and we learned little about the food and drink chosen for this tour. I would advise to spend a bit more to get a better experience if you are a foodie like us!

Response from Host, May 2026

Hi Tammy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am truly sorry to hear that our Trastevere food tour didn't live up to your expectations, especially as self-described foodies. We aim for our tours to be much more than just a meal; they should be an educational and engaging journey through Roman culinary culture. It’s disappointing to hear that while the portions were decent, the storytelling and presentation fell short. We want our guests to walk away not just full, but with a deeper understanding of the "hidden gems" we visit. I have shared your comments with our local management team to ensure we are maintaining the high standard of passion and knowledge our guides are known for. We appreciate your honesty as it helps us improve.

Excellent - don’t miss out on this one,

Linda_C, May 2026
Excellent tour and guide. The food was AMAZING and we learned so much about the preparation of the meats and cheeses. Our guide was excellent and fit perfectly with out motley crew of a group. We met several people who will be on our cruise as well and I even exchanged contact info with someone from a way far away country.

Response from Host, May 2026

Hi Linda, Thank you for such a vibrant review! We are so happy to hear that our guide fit right in with your "motley crew"—we love it when the group dynamic clicks just as well as the food pairings. It’s wonderful that you not only enjoyed the "AMAZING" food and learned the secrets behind those local meats and cheeses, but also made some lasting international connections. That is exactly the kind of magic we hope happens over a shared Roman dinner! Have a fantastic time on your cruise, and we hope you and your new friends have many more adventures together.

Great food of rome

Rebecca_Y, May 2026
Davido(the good guy)was the best guide ever. He was so knowledgeable and entertaining as well. I highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, May 2026

Hi Rebecca, Glad to hear you had a great time with Davide. He's excellent at keeping the group entertained while sharing the history of Trastevere. We’ll be sure to pass the shout-out along to him. Thanks for the recommendation and for joining us for dinner!

Great way to spend an evening in Rome.

We had such an enjoyable evening with our guide Paola on the food and wine walking tour in Rome. It was a really lovely way to spend an evening. Paola was fun and warm and added to the experience. You will be well fed and watered on this tour. A lovely thing to do while in Rome.

Paola’s Tour Was a Highlight of Our Trip

Sarah_W, Apr 2026
Paola was knowledgeable and funny and really helped us understand local food and wine! We had a great time exploring out-of-the way places and learning some history too.

Not to be missed!

Rebecca_A, Apr 2026
We really enjoyed the tour, Arvin had great food knowledge, was really passionate about food and made us all laugh. He was great with the whole group, and even has an amazing singing voice! Definitely a highlight of our stay.

Really fun food tour!...

Really fun food tour! Highly recommend to see some good local spots. Guide was really helpful to know more history about the area as well.

Very good gastronomic / historic tour

Fernando_V, Apr 2026
Nice and informative tour. Our guide Monika went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. She gave us a lot of details about the four stops during the tour, and also between stops. Also, she answered all our questions an we got to know a little bit about the other people in the tour (it was a group of 10 people total). This a very good tour that mixes history and gastronomy.

Amazing

Jarrad_T, Mar 2026
Great hidden food gems and history of the area! Our guide Sam was amazing and the wine was tasty!!!!

Great tour

Angela_A, Mar 2026
This was a great tour! We experienced fresh cold cuts and cheeses, fried cod, fresh pasta, veal, gelato and lots of wine! Matteo was very informative and knowledgeable. Would def do again!

A great experience!

Hema_P, Mar 2026
Our food tour in Rome with guide Fredrica was an absolute delight, blending incredible eats with rich history shared through engaging stories. With a cozy group of 9, she made everyone feel like family especially during the latter part where we chatted around the table like old friends, leaving me and my family walking away with new connections. Highly recommend this social food tour for a warm, memorable experience!

Monica was excellent

Anthony_M, Mar 2026
Not to be missed, a perfect evening. Great food and company. So much fun. Our tour guide, Monica was a font of knowledge and pure joy.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re really happy to hear you had such a great evening in Trastevere and that everything from the food to the atmosphere made it a memorable experience. It’s wonderful to know Monica helped make the night so enjoyable for you with her knowledge and energy. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour soon

Basic

Anthony_C, Mar 2026
I have done other food tours in Trastevere and this one was definitely at the bottom. Very basic food and not great. For the money, you can definitely just explore and get more bang for your buck. Great guide and people in the group, but would look elsewhere

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Anthony, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are sorry to hear this tour did not meet your expectations, especially as you have enjoyed food tours in Trastevere before. We do our best to offer a varied selection of local dishes and a relaxed evening experience, so it is disappointing to hear it felt basic for you. That said, we are really pleased you enjoyed the guide and the group. We appreciate your comments and hope you still enjoyed your time in Rome!

A must do while in Rome! The tour included something that we wouldn’t have found on our own.

Shannon_M, Mar 2026
Great experience! The guide was amazing (Monika). The tour included delicious food and wine. Along the route, the guide passed along the history of Italian food and wine. Very interesting! Amazing that all stops were family owned and had generations behind them.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Shannon. We’re delighted to hear that Monika made your food tour through Trastevere so enjoyable and informative. It’s fantastic that you got to experience delicious family-run establishments and learn about the history of Italian food and wine along the way. We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you on another tour in Rome soon.

A layed back walk through a beautiful community stopping at four eateries; food was very good and the tour group was fun and lively

Awesome way to experience Italian food

Robert_M, Mar 2026
This experience was awesome! Got to get away from the touristy areas and try some real Italian food. Loved not having to worry where to go, how much it cost or if it was authentic. And with only four couples, we made some nice friends. Thank you! 🍕🍝🇮🇹🍷⛲️

Wonderful evening dinner

Raj_B, Mar 2026
