Great food tour. Lots to eat so come hungry. Massimillian was great and shares great passion for local food. Tour takes you to the “mom and pop” shops not touristy ones. Highly recommend!

Seriously a highlight of our 5 week euro trip! If you're in Rome this tour is a must! My husband and I were the only 2 people booked for the day and thankfully the company didn't cancel and we had our own private tour. Our guide Massimiliano is extremely knowledgeable and not only took us to local food spots, he also told us lots of history of Rome and the dishes we had. Couldn't recommend him and this tour enough!

This was an awesome intro to popular foods in Rome. We did this tour with 2 small kids (4, 6) and I was 6 months pregnant also! It’s a lot of walking, but nothing too bad. The foods were great and our tour guide was fabulous! He was very engaging and overall made the experience very fun. Would highly recommend!

We had a BLAST! Our guide, Massimiliano, was great. We have done food tours with this same organization in other countries and he was by far the best we’ve had. Very informative, funny, attentive, and helpful. He was able to help us with any questions we had about the rest of our stay. This tour has been the best part of our trip and I highly recommend!

Massimiliano was a great guide—even on a very hot day, he was personable, interesting, and accommodating and despite it being over 90F, we enjoyed walking around learning about the food. We left VERY full and happy with the tour! Great variety in food and stops, great gelato at the end (and we’ve tried a lot)! Buonissimo!!

We had such a wonderful experience . Our guide was so knowledgeable about our surroundings and gave us such great information about the historical buildinggs. He also took us to the yummiest little eateries. We would never know about the meats and cheeses and wine that is offered. Also excellent pizza and breads to homemade pasta at the oldest Restaurant. We sat and ate with a great group of people. We also had espresso and Gelato to die for. We loved our guide. A young man with a lot of passion for what he does.Viator has amazing staff and great adventures. Thank you❤️❤️❤️🍋🍋

Had a great tour with Federico. So much food and all very tasty. Not sure I can pick a favourite as it was all so good. As a vegetarian, i didn’t miss out and had vegetarian pasta just for me and other alternatives at different stops. Even had a couple of nice glasses of wine.

We really enjoyed this walking food tour. It had 6 different stops and we were able to sample and eat a lot of different foods. Our guide was Massi and he was great! He gave a lot of good information about the food and history of the food in an entertaining way. My 9 year old son was on tour and Massi also kept him engaged and entertained. He made different accommodations for his drinks while the adults were having coffee and wines. I would definitely recommend!
