Great Experience!

Bob_K, Nov 2024
Really enjoyed the farmers market portion, although all of it was great! Our guide Julia couldn’t have been more informative or pleasant!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

We're so happy you loved our tour with Giulia! So glad you enjoyed it! We hope to see you in Naples, Palermo, Catania, Venice or Florence! Hugs from the Streaty team

Streaty Food Tour a Great Choice in Rome

Catherine_B, Jul 2024
This was a great tour! Giulia gave us a wonderful introduction to the food of Rome. We started in Trastevere and moved into Testaccio, including the local market. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the area (she grew up there) and the history of the foods we tried. The vendors and restaurants we visited had a good variety of delicious food for us, including local wines to try. Maritozzi, polpette, suppli, cheese and Cacio e pepe are some of the wonderful foods we tasted. We were not hungry at the end. We highly recommend this tour in Rome.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Wow Catherine, we're so happy to heat that you had a great time with Giulia on our tour in Rome and that you loved all the food samples! Next time join us in Florence, Catania, Venice, Naples or Palermo! Hugs from the Streaty team
