      Delightful food tour

      "My family and I had an absolutely delightful experience with this food tour. Our guide, Frederica, was fantastic and made the tour even more enjoyable with her insightful recommendations for dinner spots. We savoured every moment, especially the delicious gelato and traditional Roman pizza. The tour was well-organised, with a variety of tastings that catered to our interests. It was a perfect blend of culinary delights and cultural exploration, making it a memorable experience for all of us. Highly recommended!"

      Great tour to learn something new.

      "Romain is a great host. Everything we tasted was not only good, but we learned a lot about it. His knowledge is not just learned phrases, but he really understands things in depth. You can see that he has traveled and puts things in context. Thanks to his knowledge of history, you will learn a lot of interesting information beyond the scope of a regular food tour. I would choose him again."

      Food Tour with the Fantastic Paola!

      " We had an absolute blast on our food tour in Trastevere with Paola! She was wonderfully flexible, even meeting us right down at our apartment to start the evening The food was non-stop and amazing—starting with two types of pasta, followed by suppli, fried fish, pizza bianca, dessert, and refreshing coffee granita. Paola is deeply knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and respectful. She tailored the itinerary around the foods we were most excited to try, making it a perfectly personalised, well-rounded culinary experience. Highly recommended!"

She was a delight to talk and walk with and we would highly recommend her to everyone!!!"

      Fantastic Evening Exploring Rome

      "My wife and I had a great experience on our scooter adventure. We are a little bummed that Francesca was not part of the tour, but Rodolfo, who filled in was AMAZING. So helpful and fun. Had great information and stories to tell about Rome. My scooter driver didn't speak English, which at first was a concern, but with each stop Rodolfo made Rome come alive in new ways. It was a highlight of our time in Italy. Thank you! "
