The guide was very nice and thorough. Great combo of food and area information. We liked the group size of 10 people.
Thank you for the lovely words! Your opnion means a lot to us! All the best wishes!
This tour was simply amazing! The food, the history and the culture combined for an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!
The guide was excellent. However this is more of a street food tour vs a food tour. It would be helpful for the description to be updated. As a street food tour - it would have been a great experience. Just not what I expected.
A must do while in Rome to understand the more recent history of its people in the Jewish Ghetto. Farbrizia did an excellent relating and bringing to life some of the tragic historical details. On the lighter side we enjoyed the food tour and tasted so many things we would not have encountered on our own. Thank you.
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the vibe of the tour. We try to make every guest feel like a local friend, and we’re happy you felt that warmth during your visit!!
Fran was a great guide. Knowledgeable, patient, and very friendly. Enjoyed this tour a great deal even though it was 39 degrees out. Food was great. I would definitely recommend this tour!
We couldn’t be happier reading your review! Thank you for choosing our food tour during your stay.
We went to a variety of food tastings. It was well organized and our guide Maria was fantastic. The walk through Rome was wonderful. It was a great experience and would do it again
Thank you for the glowing feedback! We love showing guests the best of our cuisine and culture.
Our guide, Fabrizia, absolutely made this tour special for us. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! Expertly guiding us through the Jewish Ghetto and the Navona area with history mixed with traditional foods, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The 7 food stops across a wide array of appetizers, pastas, desserts and coffee was expertly curated. I would recommend this tour for anyone who love food and history - definitely a highlight of our time in Rome!
Thanks for the wonderful words! We're so glad the dishes and stops on the tour impressed you.
The tour guide was Frabricia. We were 3 older couples. Two walked slow, the third walked faster. The tour guide and the fast couple were walking 20 yards ahead of the other two couples the whole time. We were one of the slow couples; the other slow couple were 89 and 90 years old, and were struggling to keep up. I finally told the tour guide that this is a group tour, and she should keep the group together, not walk ahead and give the faster couple a private tour. She was sorry for the "misunderstanding", and said she wasn't talking about anything important with the fast couple. I called BS. Group tour 101, keep the group together. Address the whole group. As far as the content of the tour, for what we heard and for the parts we stayed for (we bailed after the pasta stop), it was OK. At night, it's nice as the area isn't as crowded, but needed to be careful as the cobblestones were slick from the rain that day. Note: This tour is a tour of a neighborhood called the "Jewish Ghetto". It is not a Jewish tour, per se. The food is not kosher. There is no visit inside the synagogue, etc. (We knew that, but the fast couple didn't, apparently.)
