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!

Kay_s, May 2026

Come with an empty stomach. Tina was an amazing and knowledgeable guide, very pleasant and personable. I would suggest pairing the wine tasting with a light appetizer before or during for those who can’t tolerate alcohol on an empty stomach.

Max_S, May 2026

Tina was awesome. The food was delicious!! The wine was fantastic!! I’d do this tour again and again!!

Super Fun Food Tour

Brenda_M, May 2026

It was a super fun, small group tour. It was relaxing and a little more low key than the other bigger tours we did. We learned so much about food in Italy and loved all the food and wine we got to try. Tina, our guide was the absolute best. So sweet and very knowledgeable. This was our favorite tour of our trip and I would highly recommend it.

We booked the Roman Food Tour on the front end of our stay in Rome. Our guide Michael was fantastic - he was very knowledgeable in sharing the history of the area and the food and wine that we were sampling. The wine was free flowing throughout the event - both the food and wine were delicious. It was a great experience and we enjoyed meeting other travellers from around the world. Highly recommend this tour!

Full belly!

Luke_U, May 2026

I had an excellent time during this tour in Rome. Tina is a master of finding some of the best restaurants and shops that I have had the pleasure of trying. She is such a down to earth person, and I loved hearing her perspective on the Roman food scene. Tina is an expert in her field and the restaurants selected were perfect. During the tour, you get a ton of food also, which is great for getting a wide range of what the Roman cuisine is like. Highly highly recommend this tour

I would do this again!

Great unique Rome food tour

Sandy_A, May 2026

Our guide Tina was great! There was a nice mix of food and drinks, all in the Prati neighborhood, which was a unique area from the traditional foodie areas of Testaccio and Trastevere.

The Best Food!

Christine_C, May 2026

The guide, Vincenzo, was extremely knowledgeable about the food. He was very entertaining and enthusiastic. The food is delicious and there was prosecco, wine at the market and wine at the last restaurant and you can have another glass! Definitely enough food. Very fun. Just be aware it’s not in the most beautiful part of Rome but it’s all about the best food!

Enjoyed our time!

Jenna_C, May 2026

I really enjoyed this tour! There was some small aspect of being offered to buy products from the company, but, to be fair, everything they were selling was incredibly delicious. And it was cheaper than other food and wine tours I’ve done in Italy while still being great quality!

Fun, Delicious, and Full of Italian Charm!

John_T, May 2026

This was one of our favorite experiences in Rome. Giordano, our Italian-Australian guide, was energetic, knowledgeable, and incredibly entertaining. He made the evening feel fun and carefree while also teaching us so much about Italian staples, regional wines, cheese, and la dolce vita. His witty, cheeky personality kept the group engaged throughout the tour. The food was excellent, the fine wine was generous, and the overall experience felt authentic and well organized. If you are looking for a Rome food tour with great local insight, delicious tastings, and a guide who brings amazing energy, we would absolutely recommend this tour.

Presecco is my new favorite

Terri_T, May 2026
