Alessandra was our tour guide. She did an excellent job of introducing us to classic Roman foods. Great history, great food stops, great conversation. She set us up to eat "The Roman way" for a whole vacation. Excellent work.

Daniele is incredible! We had such a wonderful experience. Not only was the food delicious, we learned so much about Rome specific foods and laughed the entire time. Would 100% recommend you do this while in Rome.

This tour was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Leonardo was incredible. Extremely knowledgeable about Rome, gave us tips for things to do and other things to watch out for. The food was delicious; great local spots. We even went back to a few of them later in our trip. The best part of the tour was the pride and love our guide, Leonardo, has for his city. He wanted us to love Rome like he does. Would take this tour again in a second. If you can, request Leonardo V, you won't be disappointed.

Great company, great food and breathtaking sites!

Fred_S, May 2026
We loved this tour! We had the most amazing tour guide. She had great energy, was knowlegable in the history and had many interesting facts. We visited less crowded areas that were still quite significant. The food was great! We loved trying things we would not normally have eaten.

Great Introduction to Rome Neighborhoods

mympp77xvt, May 2026
This food tour was a great way to begin our first day in Rome. A 6 pm start is perfect way to get some exercise and fresh air to ward off jet lag. Our guide Anna, was super nice and informative not only about the foods but also the neighborhoods and hidden jewels I was particularly touched by the history of the Jewish Ghetto neighborhood. The foods were representative of the different neighborhoods and all delicious and plentiful. Anna is special and I’m glad our paths crossed even if it was only for a little while!!

Lily!!!!

Lily was super knowledgeable and very funny! A great tour guide for those who have and have not been to the area.

Come hungry for a delicious and delightful afternoon

Alessandra is a treasure. She so happily shares her Italian culture and traditions while artfully engaging her group members with questions about their own cultures. Our food treats were varied and very generous in serving size. It was a delicious and delightful afternoon.

Great experience!!!!!!!!

History and cuisine in Rome

Laurie_E, May 2026
We signed up to take a tour of part of the city of Rome and enjoy some street food and culture. This is a great way to learn some of the history of important parts of Rome, enjoy some localized foods, and really get in touch with some culture in history in Rome. Our tour guide, Rita, was excellent.It was really interesting, very well organized, extremely well presented, and just a great tour. I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

We had a great time on the tour. Sylvia was a wonderful host - providing us with explanations about the food and historical information about the area.

Great street food tour!

Leslie_G, Apr 2026
We were 3 vegetarians and Giancarlo knew exactly where to take us and what to order! Everything we ate was amazing and we also got a little history about the foods and the places he took us. I HIGHLY recommend this tour and Giancarlo in particular!

Fun way to experience Rome!

Gale_D, Apr 2026
Giancarlo was an informative and interesting tour guide. He took us to places I never would’ve found on my own in Rome. My family really enjoyed the experience.

Kathy_K, Apr 2026
Great food and traditional Italian food rather than just pizza history that was included in the tour was very interesting. Guide was really well educated and did a great job.

Worth it!

Annie_J, Apr 2026
Our host, Flame, was fire! She was so sweet, picked the best spots, and adjusted the tour to meet our needs. This was also a quieter tour compared to typical Rome icon tours.

Best food Tour

Iselle_H, Apr 2026
We had Alessandra as our guide and she not Only talked to every single person in our group but she gave us so much info into each stop. Tried foods I wouldn’t have ordered myself and LOVED IT

What a treat

Kellie_G, Apr 2026
Sadeir was such a great guide, she was charismatic and a wealth of knowledge. I’ve been to Rome multiple times, but I was here trying new experiences for my clients, and I will be adding this tour to every Rome itinerary moving forward.

Don’t eat breakfast before 😂

becbasile, Apr 2026
Emily was awesome and very informative. We left very full and happy. We visited cabullo street foods in the days after and the food was full of leftover pork fat which was disappointing, because it was very good on the tour.

Interesting food tour

Debbie_D, Apr 2026
Great tour, do it at the beginning of your holiday , so you know where to go. Great street food and nice and friendly stop points. Our guide leonardo was really good and lots of information.

Hannah was the best host....

richard_p, Apr 2026
Hannah was the best host. To much food to eat. She gave us so much history about the neighborhoods we visited as we tried 6 different almost full sized portion foods of Rome

Good value

wendy_p, Apr 2026
Great Tour. We'll paced and a variety of treats along the way. Matteo was knowledgeable and very approachable.

Truly wonderful- thank you Daniele!

Ashley_O, Mar 2026
Daniele was a fantastic tour guide! We loved all the lovely historical facts and personal stories he was able to share as a true Roman-born localman. He was very charasmatic, funny, and was able to connect a group of people from all countries with fun and laugh so easily. Truly such a fantastically fun experience! Thank you so much for the memories Daniele!

We loved this tour!...

Sarah_K, Mar 2026
We loved this tour! Alessandra was fantastic - she had tons of knowledge about the city, its history and its food. She was so kind to our kids. Our whole family gave it 5 stars and would highly recommend!

Family walking tour with Lilly

Brian_S, Mar 2026
Our family had a great time on this walking food tour with Lilly! We all loved her! Our 8 year old granddaughter was in tears when Lilly had to leave. She was such a sweetheart and very knowledgeable about the area and the food. This was one of our favorite parts of the week in Rome. Highly recommend!! I booked this tour for 10 adults and 3 kids under 12. One of our adults got sick and had to stay at the hotel in bed all day. The final reservation with the tickets said 11 adults and 2 kids. The people that went on the tour was 9 adults and 3 kids. Nothing was compensated for with food or drink for the missing person. Also, I'm not sure if kids were cheaper than adults. Can any credit or refund be given for this?

Emilia was warm and...

Jim_M, Mar 2026
We had an incredible time sampling the foods of Rome with our guide Ferrara. We also learned quite a bit about the foods themselves as well as the communities where we did our tastings. It was a wonderful morning and afternoon, and even a brief hailstorm couldn’t dampen our spirits!

Street Food Tour with Simone

Kathy_M, Mar 2026
We did the street food tour with Simone. It was fabulous. She was the absolute best tour guide we learned so much about Rome’s history and about the street food we were eating.

Perfect way to enjoy & learn about Roman food culture!

Andrea_E, Mar 2026
We took the street food tour that ended in the Jewish ghetto area with Danielle - it was a delightful way to learn about and enjoy Roman street food, how they are different from other regions in Italy and how Romans eat. Danielle was charming and funny without being “over the top,” a wealth of information that was interesting, engaging and on point. Don’t skip this one!

Excellent Tour! Highly recommended!

Michael_H, Mar 2026
Our tour guide was amazing! She was knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and provided a perfect sampling of local Roman food.
