Our group had a blast touring Roma with Fabio! He did an impressive job providing historical information about the city, weaving in geopolitical insights as we drove around town. He was engaging and respectful. And the food and drinks were excellent!

We had a private walking tour of Trastevere with Giuseppe and it was AMAZING! We spent 4 fabulous hours walking, eating, drinking, and learning all about the lovely area of Trastevere. Every bite and every sip was better than the previous one. Peppe was funny, charismatic, and knowledgeable about all things Rome. Not only did we learn about the local food and restaurants, we also learned about Italian history and culture. No question was off limits. We would highly recommend a private tour because we got the VIP treatment from every restaurant and we had amazing conversations.

One of our favorite tours in Rome and Florence! Kept the kids very interested and engaged. The tour guide was fantastic! Dario was really great and so interesting. It was worth every penny and we would highly recommend it with kids. Our kids are ages 13, 11, 7, 5 and 1. Normally we’d think we would need a private tour but the tour guide was able to engage the whole group. Loved the history of the area and the background facts on food and culture.

This experience is a must for food lovers traveling to Rome and looking for unique and hard to find local spots. The places they take you to would be almost impossible to find or get into without some serious local connections. Giuseppe was our guide and he was super knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor and made the experience super fun. My wife and I live in NYC and actively seek quality food. We had the best burrata we’ve ever eaten at da Enzo on this tour. We ate there before the restaurant was open to the public and when we left, the line was around the block, and for good reason! You also get a tour of a 2000 year old wine cellar at Spirito Di Vino, which was incredible. Everything else was top notch and you also get to meet some cool people along the way. 10/10, will do this again if/when we come back to Rome!

Did an amazing tour with Amin! The group was a total of 6 tourists, and we were from around the world. The food was great at each place, and you won’t leave hungry. Plenty to drink as well. Accommodations were made for me, as I don’t drink alcohol, and I didn’t feel left out at all! The tour guide and the company were the highlights of the trip. I highly recommend this tour and highly recommend Amin as a guide! It is a great introduction to the city! Thank you for such an amazing time!

One of the highlights to our trip to Rome, we have been on a few tours in Rome and we're a bit nervous for this but our host Dalia made the entire tour amazing and we had some fantastic guests with us.
For the food, it was a great selection of foods that we really enjoyed. As vegetarians we were catered for well, especially the final few stops. I would massively recommend choosing this tour and if you're lucky enough to have Dalia host you, you'll have an amazing time!
We travelled Trastevere and sampled the vest foods from the best locations and along the way learnt some fantastic history.

100/10 experience. Delicious food + AMAZING tour Fabienne did an amazing job! She brought Trastevere to life talking about the history and culture and tied in all of the DELICIOUS food we ate and gave us context for each of the dishes. A great experience where you get to learn, eat great food, and meet other people interested in learning and eating. Ask for Fabienne! She makes everything so interesting and easy to understand. Everyone was so comfortable and asking questions throughout.

Our tour with Francesca was wonderful! She was delightful and charming and so fun to spend the evening with. We learned a lot about traditional Roman (don’t call it Italian!) dining. The places we visited were fantastic and I just wish I could have eaten more - it was all molto delicioso!
