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.

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

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! 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!

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 friendly and full of knowledge about the food, culture, & surrounding areas etc. Highly recommend!
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!
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.
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!
Michael_H, Mar 2026
Our tour guide was amazing! She was knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and provided a perfect sampling of local Roman food.
Meader_H, Mar 2026

AshokLucio_D, Mar 2026
Very informative and fun walking tour through the historic gettos of Rome. Hana our guide had great energy and passion and gave us insider stories and anecdotes that made this extra special. The food stops were great, especially the market and the ending with Gelato made our day. Highly recommended.
Tom_D, Mar 2026
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.
Jordan_S, Feb 2026
It was very good and in depth. Caterina was knowledgeable and excellent guide. She provided plenty of information at each stop of the tour.
Meghan_T, Feb 2026
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.
Wayne_B, Jan 2026
Great tour. Daniel was fun and informative. Highly recommend. History of Roman food mixed with history of the city.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad Daniel made the tour both fun and informative, and that you enjoyed learning about Roman food and history.
Melynda_C, Jan 2026
The food tour was excellent! Daniele was our guide and it was an honor to learn so much history and culture while tasting delicious Roman street food! He was funny but most of all extremely knowledgeable and detailed. We did this tour after arriving on our first day and feel grateful to have the information from the tour fill our heads as we started our short Roman vacation!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad Daniele made your first day in Rome both enjoyable and informative, and that you loved tasting the local street food while learning about the city.
Joanne_B, Jan 2026
Our tour guide, Daniel, was knowledgeable and extremely hospitable. I would recommend this tour to all foodies who enjoy knowing the cultural background of Roman cuisine. My personal favorite was the artichoke we ate in the Jewish getto.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled that Daniel made the tour so enjoyable and that you loved learning about Roman cuisine—especially the artichoke in the Jewish Ghetto!
Katyana_S, Jan 2026
We have done many food tours in the past and this one was one of the best we've ever done! All different types of food, walking to a bunch of different neighborhoods, everyone was really nice and the guide was super informative and helped with other restaurant choices for the rest of our trip!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring different neighborhoods and tasting a variety of foods. It’s great to hear the guide’s tips helped make your trip even better!
Heather_F, Jan 2026
This was our first excursion after arriving in Rome, and it proved to be an excellent introduction to the city and its culture. They say food feeds the soul, and it also reveals the soul of its people. Our guide, Leonardo, did an amazing job of sharing the history of the food as well of the background of the neighborhoods we walked through during our tour. Each food tasting was unique and delicious. I am a bit picky and very cautious when trying new foods, yet I fully enjoyed every bite! Leonardo took great effort in getting to know everyone on the tour and ensured that each person had an amazing experience. As we were approaching the meeting point for the tour, I noticed many locals walking while eating food I didn’t recognize, but it looked fabulous. To my delight, our first stop took us to a restaurant that served that appetizer which I learned to call suppli. It was delicious! Each destination was cozy and full of charm. We definitely got the feel of the city and the local vibe. I highly recommend this street food tour!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled that Leonardo made your first day in Rome so memorable and that you enjoyed exploring the neighborhoods, learning about the food, and trying new dishes. It’s great to hear the tour gave you a true taste of the city and its local vibe!

Arianna was my tour guide and she was awesome! She was personable and the explanations she gave about the food were great, however the food was small portions and overall okay. I also think another restaurant or two should be added for tasting.
Jennifer_S, Jan 2026
Sylvia was terrific and the food was excellent. We were also able to see other areas of Rome we had not seen before. She was on time, friendly, and gave great information.
Brad_R, Dec 2025
Ariana was a GREAT host!! Very knowledgeable about the food and shared wonderful stories about the food and Roman culture
Rafie_S, Dec 2025
Our guide was Fiammetta. She was very knowledgeable not only about the food, but also about the history of the area we were in. The places we visited were very good, and we even returned to eat at some of them later during our visit.
We had a group of only 11 people, so we really were able to have a personal experience too.
As far as value for money it was fantastic! I would definitely recommend booking this experience.
mary_f, Dec 2025
The tour wasn't just about food---our guide, Alessandra Bucci, incorporated a lot of historical information while walking us through the streets in the city
Julie_K, Dec 2025
Our guide, Anna, was amazing, super knowledgeable and actually fun to listen to (which isn’t always the case!). She knew everything about where the food comes from, little differences between regions, and all these random tips that you’d only get from someone who really loves this stuff.
We hit a bunch of spots, including the Jewish Ghetto, and every place felt like somewhere the locals actually go. Came starving, left absolutely stuffed and happy.
If you like eating and learning cool stuff at the same time, just book it. You’ll thank yourself later.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share such positive feedback!
We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Anna made your experience both delicious and meaningful. Anna will be so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed discovering Rome with her.
Come back hungry—we’ve got even more spots to share with you!
Elsa_G, Nov 2025
Come hungry! Wonderful food choices and PLENTY of food for everyone. I was sad that I was full, because the food locations were all phenomenal. Mario was knowledgeable and personable. He shared historical information on the neighborhoods. My only regret was not doing this sooner! I would have loved to return to several spots.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear Elsa,
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the generous tastings and the incredible food stops along the way — coming hungry is definitely the right choice!
Mario will be delighted to know his knowledge and friendly storytelling made the neighborhoods come alive for you.
We only wish you had joined us sooner too… but we hope this means you’ll be back to revisit your favorite spots!
Grazie
Kristina_M, Nov 2025
We had a fantastic time with Alessandra. Loved all six stops and left very full! It was great to try new places with a local. One of the best things we did in Rome, would recommend to all visiting!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy you had such a great time with Alessandra and enjoyed all the delicious stops. It’s wonderful to hear the tour was one of your highlights in Rome!
Robert_C, Oct 2025
Incredible tour. The food was delicious and the tour was well organised, but far and away the best thing about the tour was Leonardo, our guide. Friendly, open, knowledgable, shared interesting anecdotes, paced the tour well, interested in the group - couldn’t have asked for more. Our group was 5 strong, a perfect size. Come with an appetite!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Robert, thank you so much for your incredible review!
We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the delicious Roman food and found the tour well organised.
It’s especially rewarding to read your kind words about Leonardo — we couldn’t agree more! His friendliness, knowledge, and passion truly bring our tours to life. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments; he’ll be delighted to know he made your experience so special.
We’re also happy that the small group size and pacing were just right for you. And yes — coming with an appetite is always the best idea!
We hope to welcome you back soon for another great experience!
