"From start to finish, Romain gave us an incredible experience. He didn’t just guide us through delicious bites—he shared the rich history behind every street and dish, answering all our questions with patience and passion. What made it even more special was how flexible and personalized the tour felt. Whether it was tracking down a specific dish we were craving (hello, fried artichoke—so good!) or taking a break when we needed one, Romain made sure the day was exactly what we wanted.
Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and the conversations along the way were just as memorable as the food. If you're in Rome and want more than just a generic tour, Romain is your guy. Highly recommend!"
"Gabriele was great. He made our tour so fun and exciting. He is super friendly, knowledgeable and made great picks that everyone enjoyed. After our tour he made a few recommendations for our group and we absolutely loved it. I feel we got a chance to experience Rome from a more local perspective. "
"This tour was amazing! Book with Simone if you want to have a good & comfortable time walking through the streets of Rome as he explains Rome’s history, takes you to local restaurants & shops for memorable food, & makes you feel like a long lost friend! 10/10 recommend."
"Firstly, Roberta is amazing. I feel like I’ve found a great friend! She knows where to take you and what to suggest, and just genuinely is easy to talk to.
Secondly, most of the food she presents you with is things you wouldn’t know are vegan unless you’re a local. And let me tell you, it is DELIGHTFUL! I went to a different location to find the same items the next day.
This is an absolute MUST as a vegan when visiting Rome - Roberta even provides you with recommendations of where you should go. You really can’t go wrong booking this tour. "
"Myself, my wife and our daughter thoroughly enjoyed our time with Vania who is a real Roman. We did the tour in the early evening and the amount of food that we tasted was more than enough for our usual evening meal. Vania steered us to foods and flavors that are uniquely Roman. The small establishments that she chose for us were a testament to the artisanal nature of their craft and also ones that she frequents with her family and friends. Vania finished our tour atop Janiculum Hill with a wonderful evening view of Rome - a fitting end to our first day in Rome."
"We had a fun night being introduced to the Trastevere area and the custom of the Apperitivo. Simone was friendly and informative. Also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Rome."
"The food tour with Paola was wonderful. The great variety of tastings of typical Roman food was amazing but she also provided lots of history and facts about Rome. Her love of the city certainly showed. Her experience and knowledge of the area we toured was amazing - we saw little courtyards, alleyways, architecture and ancient sites we never would have found on our own. Thank you Paola!"
"Gianmaria, gave us a wonderful tour of Roman food. We had samples of the local pizza, cheese, pork, gelato and more. Throughout the tour he provided information about each area and food. We enjoyed the afternoon with Gianmaria immensely. "
