This tour is wonderful, our guide (Fab) explained every historical monument and the food was amazing. You get to really see the city of Rome and taste the local food.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! It means a lot to us! Wish you all the best for the future!
Marco was great! We had delicious food and wine. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. You do not get all food in pictures. We were looking forward to the prosciutto sampling but did not have any.

Thanks for your beautiful review! We hope to welcome you back soon for more great food and fun.
This was a wonderful opportunity for me to taste some of Rome’s delicious and unique food and desserts. I had a great time, even though I toured solo and the food, wine, and desserts were scrumptious! Also, Maria, (our tour guide) was very knowledgeable and friendly. She even called a taxi for me at the end of the tour. That said, I highly recommend this walking food tour. You will have a great time!

This is a wonderful walk through an area less known and less crowded. We got to taste 4 delicious pasta dishes in an old cellar, paired with wine of choice. We also tried traditional appetizers and desserts in various restaurants, overall getting to eat more food than we could. We also learned about the history of the jewish quarter and more. It was a wonderful start to our roman vacation.

Our tour guide Fabrizia was great.
The food wasn’t brilliant as basically pasta and a Slice of pizza. So if you’re looking for culinary delights, this isn’t for you,
There was a lot of information about the history of Rome.
Fabrizia was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and fun. She brought us to amazing places where we had the best food and left very full! She had sure everyone had something they would love and you could tell how much she loved Rome. Highlight of our trip and we can’t wait to do it again, hopefully with Fabrizia :) Make sure you go to the tour hungry!
Good variety and plenty of food. Not as much walking- everything was close in the area. Four hours was well spaced out with different choices and places
Make sure to check your emails/ messages. Our time and meeting location was changed. I acknowledge the change but forgot. I returned to the voucher which caused us to be late for the meeting point. The guide was great and waited on us. Our tour was great. We saw lots of historical areas in Rome and had dinner in an amazing restaurant.
We had Marco, such a great guide on Roman food. He was so friendly and very funny.
The food spots were delicious and he gave us a list of recommendations at the end.
Was well worth it
The find the tour was confusing. I receive notice that Imy tour was being upgrade but I could not find that notice again anywhere so I went to the original start location. Luckily it was close enough I could get there but the guide was late so I still wasn't sure if I was in the right place. I was a little nervous about how the night was going to turn out, but it turned out good. Wonderful food.
The guide and the food made for a wonderful experience. Greta gave an excellent narrative on the history Roma and the food we sampled.
Our tour was cancelled at the last minute and full credit to Viator for arranging an alternative. I believe we went on Jewish ghetto one instead. The guide, Arianne, was fine however the food was a bit in the light side. I would have to stay it was just passable in terms of value for money
The food was absolutely amazing and the tour guide was so personable and knowledgeable. After the first couple of stops I was waddling for the rest of the tour, but I was very happy .
Marco was excellent AND the food was diversified and oh so so good. Marco is very knowledgeable and could answer almost all questions about where foods originated etc. and he has a great sense of humor.
Small group tour was fun and casual. Group was good mix for fun and great conversation . Tour guide loves Roman history and it showed in her presentation of the landmarks, back stories and of course the tasty dishes. Friendly demeanor of tour guide facilitated the open friendly atmosphere. Totally enjoyed the complete evening.
We had a fantastic time. Food was delicious. Marco provided interesting information. He was a great guide.
The tour is very complete and delicious. I tasted a lot of new flavours, roman and italian food. I loved and I also learn about history with our kind guide Marco. I tasted tiramisu for the first time and was amazing!
Just a fantastic evening of food, wine and information. Our guide was knowledgeable and provided a wonderful experience.
Fabrizia was extremely knowledgeable about all things Roma. She seen sights and samples 6 local staples of Rome (oils, pinsa, pasta, tiramisu, espresso, gelato). Seen Pantheon and Trevi Fountain amongst many more things. Truly happy we booked this guide and tour.
Main course restaurant with 4 pasta were good. Gelato place was not very good. Others were okay. The guide was very personable and knowledgeable.
Greta our guide was wonderful. Expertly knowledgeable and super fun. Our group was also social which was nice. Lots of great eats and wine or non alcohol drinks. Also a lot of great insight into the city and culture.
Matteo was an outstanding guide and so much fun-informative, interesting and delicious! We had a great evening!
Our guide, Mattia! The food was excellent! Suppli at
Roscioli, and pasta at Origano was superb! The tour was fun and Mattia took us to the best places and gave us some great background and stories about what we saw! Thank you!!! Highly recommend!!
Great tour with lots to eat and see
Greta was a great guide
Recommend this tour and ask if you need something different to eat if you don’t like cheese like me!
We had a small’ish group so it made it more personable. Greta was very knowledgeable about the city’s history and she made it interesting. All of the food choices were phenomenal!
It was such a great experience. Maria was very knowledgeable in the history of the area. She was fabulous. We learned so much and ate great food. The group was so pleasant and fun.
Maria was a great guide especially about the Roman culture and cuisine. However, this tour is not good value if you do not consume wine. To be clear, Maria was impressive as our guide and we would book her again on other sightseeing tours.
