Great experience. Visited small out of the way businesses that we would likely never have gone to on our own. Everything from great bakery samples, to cheeses, meats, pasta and of course gelato. We had a small group which made it even better . Our guide Stefano was fun and informative. Was definitely full at the end. Highly recommend the tour.

Can’t say enough great things about our food tour and guide. Local tastes were authentic and conversations were as of we had been friends for years! Carla followed through with her offer and messaged additional places to explore. Most importantly she (and the rest of the group) was kind and patient when my family arrived 5 minutes late due to a technicality. Thank you!

Great tour, had good I didn’t know to try, it is a long evening and left exhausted; however, I tried many new foods. We made 6 stops and learned a lot about the food in Rome.

First timers in Trastevere

Mark_D, Mar 2026
Our guide, Almudena, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Trastevere. She even gave us recommendations of her personal favorites beside the places we visited. Would definitely recommend the tour and our guide.

Nice evening

Rayna_G, Mar 2026
Excellent organisation and friendly competent guide. Learned a lot of about traditional Italian food and were immersed in the evening life of Trastevere. The last two stops offered opportunity to sit down, which was good for tired tourist

Great food tour

Clare_l, Feb 2026
Excellent tour with host Barbara. Well worth the experience. Good knowledge of the area and the food.

Trastevere food discovery!

Douglas_L, Feb 2026
Great Trastevere tour with Meghan Laurie! We had a fun time making 6 stops trying a wide variety of traditional Roman food while learning about the area we were strolling through. We started at 10:30 with a quick sampling of freshly baked biscuits and finished up 3 hours later with some amazing gelato! Quick word of advice, if you start mid-morning as we did, have a very light breakfast beforehand!

Great background Rome tour

Lori_S, Jan 2026
We really experienced some of the more traditional Rome offerings. Our guide took us around the little shops that you would have to be a Roman to even know about. We had some awesome food and it was just a really nice time. We went back to one of the tour restaurant, Eggs, to have a nice dinner. Highly recommended very good food! If you haven’t done a Rome tour, I would say recommend this on your first or second day to get ideas and get the lay of the land!

ROY_V, Jan 2026
Our guide, Barbara, was born and raised in the city. She was very informative about the history and food in the area. I always recommend doing a food tour in a city that you are exploring.

Our guideBarbara, was amazing. She took us to all the best small family owned shops. The food was more than amazing. Our group was so satisfied that we skipped the Gelato stand. She also helped us all get taxis home. So kind, I wanted her as my friend,

Great time!

Theresa_P, Sep 2024
Our guy was so nice. Lots of great information. And great food! The food on this excursion was unique and something’s we don’t usually eat

Nice morning food tour exploring parts of Trastevere

Rebecca_A, Jul 2023
We were the only ones on our tour- which I was nervous about. But we got a personal introduction into Trastevere and had an amazing afternoon with Roberta. Seeing hidden gems and trying the local spots and foods was a blast. She was incredibly personal and gave us little historical facts as we walked around. I almost wished it had been longer and we could have covered even more spots as I see some of the other tours do! But it was a really nice morning and we had a great time.

Our guide, Mauro, was...

Cara_H, Jun 2023
Our guide, Mauro, was wonderful. Shared a lot of interesting information about Trastevere. Would recommend.

They need to beef up this tour or charge less.

Shannon_B, Jun 2023
We did read the reviews for this tour and understood that it is a food tour not a tour guide but it would have been so much more enjoyable if learned about the culture as well as the food. The portions were very small compared to other food tours we have done. For example, our pizza sample was a 2x3 inch rectangle. Very yummy- would have liked to have a little more. This is not a cheap. I would have preferred to do a little more research on my own and done my own food tour or go have dinner at a nice restaurant. Food guide was so nice.

Trastevere Food Tour

Jose_A, May 2023
Went to 4 different restaurants and tasted very good quality typical local food. Marcina was very good at explaining the background of the variety of food we ate. We also walked and learned the area we ate in.
