Valeria (sp?) was very informative and friendly. She made stops along the way and explained the history of several places. Things we would not have known about otherwise. The street food samplings were delicious!
I would highly recommend this tour and our tour guide.

We had a lovely small group tour of food and history with Marco. We enjoyed deli meats, cheese, bread, a little wine, a little beer, suppli, pizza, cannoli, and gelato while walking the streets of Trastevere. Great tour!

Francesca was amazing! She had so much information about the area and the food. My son, who is studying in Florence now, and I enjoyed the tour so much. We will recommended this tour/guide to everyone!

Our guide told us about the history of SPA, was very interesting, and general history of the place.
And we tried the Roman Suppli, and my mind was absolutely blown, I wish I could eat suppli all day everyday
We also tried the Roman Pizza and he explained to us about different Italian cuisine that it’s region based.
The guide also catered to our dietary needs / requirement
I recommend this food tour especially our guide for everyone and anyone visiting Rome
Thank you for this wonderful experience

The tour was fantastic. Our guide Tiziano was full of knowledge and filled us with many interesting facts about Trastevere, Roman history and the roman delicacies. Would highly recommend this experience!

We loved our food tour with Romona- this was one of our favorite activities of our entire trip to Italy. It was great to learn about the local history and culture of Trastevere. Had the best pizza of our trip too!

I’ve done other food tours — including one booked through Viator in 2024 — and unfortunately, this was the worst experience I’ve ever had, due in large part to our guide, Francesca.
We were a group of 8, joined by another group of 4, for a total of 12 people. I use a small, folding electric wheelchair, and my cousin was in a manual chair pushed by a family member. We were keeping pace with the group, navigating the streets just fine, and not causing any delays. Despite that, after just one stop, Francesca pulled me aside and “told me I should quit the tour”.
I was stunned. When I told her I intended to stay, she went to my father and said, “People like that shouldn’t be here.” When he asked what she meant, she replied, “People in a wheelchair.” It didn’t stop there — she complained to my mother, who told her firmly to drop it. Later, a woman from the other group told me Francesca had also been griping to them about “wheelchair users,” to which that guest rightly pointed out that her own family includes two wheelchair users.
It was clear Francesca didn’t want anyone with a disability on her tour, regardless of whether they were keeping up — which we were. Her behavior was appalling: discriminatory, unprofessional, and deeply offensive. And she didn’t just alienate our group — her overall attitude made everyone feel uncomfortable.
Beyond her behavior, the tour itself was unimpressive. It involved a long walk for just four stops, none of which offered what I’d consider true “street food”. All the food came from brick-and-mortar locations, and sadly, none of it was particularly good.
If you’re considering this tour, especially if you or someone in your party has a disability, I strongly urge you to avoid it — or at the very least, insist on a different guide. No one deserves to be treated the way we were.

We had a wonderful time. Our tour guide, Francesca, was amazing! Very personable. She did a great job with giving the historical details & pointing out things as we were passing through different areas. Very knowledge. The food we sampled was delicious and a good variety. Even though it was “samples” of the foods, there was more than enough and we were stuffed at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed & would recommend.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We loved spending time with you and are so happy to know it was memorable
Shawn_W, Jun 2025
It was nice and hot for the tour. The food was good and the variety good. Portions were small but it all worked out in the end.
Peter_a, May 2025
Our guide Marco gave us an exceptional introduction to Trastevere and its food and its nightlife. Heaps of food experiences and beer to wash it down. A great way to spend a few hours. Highly recommended.
Aida_L, Apr 2025
Marco was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about the area and the food. I would really recommend this tour.
nathalie_H, Apr 2025
Our guide was fantastic and we had a very small group and what an incredible way to see Trastevere. Fantastic
MaryJane_C, Mar 2025
We really enjoyed the tour. Tiziano was great. Very engaging and good company. The food was lovely and it also meant we saw an area of Rome that we hadn’t explored. I thought it was very good value for money and we would thoroughly recommend it. Thanks!
Kc_T, Jan 2025
It was an eye-opening and informative tour. Daniele knows the city well and besides being introduced to the interesting local food, he also shared with us some anecdotes and history of the city. Highly recommended!
Pansy_H, Jan 2025
My husband & I really enjoyed our small group Trastevere night food tour.
It was fun to experience it in the evening instead of the usual daytime.
Our tour guide was very good as well as the food & I would recommend it!
charlotte_r, Jan 2025
We had a great evening walking, talking and
eating local fresh food and learning all about the history in the area. Fabulous 1st night in Rome
SEan_C, Oct 2024
Luca was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. Being a former chef his insights not only on the food but the area were insightful. Really good experience and fair value.
Howard_M, Sep 2024
Wow what a great time we had.
The area was crowded but that's Rome so not a worry.
Daniel was a fantastic ,lively,informative guide.Highly recommend him so knowledgeable we had a fantastic experience. Oh plus the food tasting was superb.
Michele_F, Sep 2024
Our guide Luca gave us an engaging tour through Trastevere with interesting personal insight and local history. My two older teen boys were relieved that Luca made it fun, with honest antidotes and unique stories, as they were dreading a boring tour. The street food stops were great and so glad he turned us on to Günther gelato!
Donna_K, Sep 2024
Doing this food tour gave us an opportunity to see this side of Rome that we would not have seen. It was fun, the food was good, and the company of the other participants was enjoyable.
Shaun_W, Jul 2024
Our guide, Daniel, was great. Funny, smart and super knowledgeable about all things Rome and more importantly, food! Was great fun. We took our 9 year old and he enjoyed it too. Free treats helped.

Thank you so much for your feedback!!
Joy_E, Jul 2024
Our tour was cancelled the night before because the guide was ill. I guess they don’t have anyone who can replace guides when they get sick. Instead we were offered the “same” tour a half an hour later. This tour was not in Trastevere like tour we booked- it was very different. The tour lasted 1 hour 45 min not 2 1/2 hours and part of it felt like the guide was delaying because it was going so fast. You couldn’t sit anywhere to eat the food you were sampling- and it was 97 degrees in Rome. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Just not what we paid for.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Ciao Joy, thank you for sharing your feedback! We love to hear our guests opinion in order to improve our services. We are very sorry we needed to reschedule your tour since our guide was ill. Unfortunately our guide's illness at the last minute was our of our control. We offered you a similar tour just in a different neighborhood just lovely as Trastevere. This is a street food tour, and not always places to seat are available (it's written at the description of the tour). We are very sorry you did not enjoy the experience to the fullest.
Diane_C, Jul 2024
Great tour of the Trastevere area of Rome. Luca was an excellent host and very knowledgeable about the food and the area. The tour was well organized and we were served quickly at each food stop not to mention the food was delicious.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thanks a lot for your feedback!!

We enjoyed the tour and hearing the historical accounts in addition to tasting the food. We initially expected more stops but the amount of food was perfect. Our guide was welcoming and informative.

Fun experience. Food and drink is very good, but pretty limited. It would be nice if you could buy an additional glass of wine or beer.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback! This is a street food tour where drinks are not included. It's written at the description of the tour that drinks are not included, although a sip of wine and beer are offered.
Susan_M, Jun 2024
