Our guide Chris introduced us to authentic, delicious and interesting street food in multiple local eateries in Rome. He was engaging and patient in explaining the background information of the food and some interesting historical facts of the sites that we also visited along the way. We enjoyed our tour very much.

This is a fantastic experience that in my opinion is a must do in Rome! Daniele is the best guide, funny, smart, witty and is what makes this so good! You will enjoy this I have no doubt. The food is amazing and super tasty. Do yourself a favour and do it!

It was easy to spot Daniel in the not crowded area he selected. Plus the Whats App introduction ahead of time was very much appreciated.
Daniel was an excellent tour guide! He was full of interesting facts about the food, the history, the areas where we walked and so much more! Of all my tours, I remember more of his fun facts and history lessons than any other tour. . I highly recommend Daniel and this walking/food tour. Oh…The food selections were excellent too!

Our tour guide was excellent and gave us great historic information. The places he took us to were amazing. We loved all the food, gelato and tiramisu.

This was a great tour - well worth the price paid. Our tour guide was Daniele, and he was one of the best tour guides we've ever had! He has so much knowledge about Rome, and especially the Jewish ghetto area. He is passionate about it and clearly loves Rome and his job as a tour guide. We learned so much! We were also fortunate that there were only the two of us on this paticular tour, so we got lots of personal attention! The food tastings were wonderful and lots of food. We had suppli, pizza, fried artichokes, gelato, and more. My favorite was the fried artichokes. So unique and yummy. We were stuffed by the end of the tour! Daniele spent some extra time with us on this tour, showing us special things and telling us a liitle about his life. We loved that and truly felt like we were friends by the end of the tour. This tour is a great choice - one of the best things we did during our trip to Rome. Book it for sure! I hope you get Daniele!

Amazing tour & great food. Loved the explanation of all the historical sites we walked by. Our guide gave us so many tips. She was amazing.
Michael_D, May 2023
My wife and I had a wonderful time touring the Campo du Fiori, Jewish Ghetto, Pantheon and surrounding streets. Despite the rainy weather, our guide was super positive, kind and informative. She showed us hidden secrets of the neighborhood, how the shape of today's buildings are due to an ancient Roman theater from 2000 years ago, and introduced us to fried artichokes and some world-changing pistachio gelato.
Highly recommended.

Jack_L, Jul 2022
Our tour of the Rome Jewish ghetto, Pantheon and Navona Street food tasting tour was excellent. Our guide Virginia was friendly, outgoing, flexible and very knowledgeable. The foods we tasted were all delicious. We could not have had a better tour. We would highly recommend this when in Rome!
Nancy_S, May 2022
We learned so much. Things we would never have known without Virginia’s talks.
She is very knowledgeable and a most pleasant person

Amazing guide and great food! Loved the explanation of all the interesting historical sites we walked by - stuff that I would’ve missed walking alone!
Mary_P, Apr 2022
Fabulous, fun tour with Mattia. Getting to know a handful of excellent local casual food spots was a fabulous way to start off in a new city. I plan to go back to all of them. I also loved the historical and fascinating call outs as we walked the streets of Rome. The group size of 8 people was perfect, and I met a great bunch of folks. I highly recommend this tour!
Paola_C, Apr 2022
We had a wonderful walking/eating tour, starting in the Jewish Ghetto, wandering through and finishing at Navona Square. Our guide was delightful. We learned about the history of the area and tasted some delicious food. There were only 4 in the group, which was great. This was a wonderful way to spend a few hours. I highly recommend!
Marina_R, Apr 2022
Super fun tour with Mattia. Getting to know a handful of local casual food gems. It is a fabulous way to start off in a new city. I wanted to return to all. I also appreciated the historical call outs along the way. It was a sweet group of folks and the perfect size of 6. Highly recommend
Mary_M, Apr 2022
Our guide, Mattia was fantastic and did a really good job on letting us know some interesting facts and entertaining us. Very good food, left feeling satisfied. Perfect size group and left feeling money well spent. Would recommend
Antonella_C, Apr 2022
Our guide was professional and friendly. She made sure that we not only enjoy the food but also the history/facts associated with it. My favourite dish from the tour was the fried Zucchini flowers with anchovies.
