Marco was great, he was very informative and knowledgeable about the history of the places and foods we sampled. He was also very accommodating to the group. I definitely recommend doing the tour with him.
Ramona was so sweet. Great tour, good food choices. I would add a pasta and remove one of the other stops. But my kids really enjoyed it!
Christian was really nice, easy to understand and very engaging. He kept a good pace for everyone to follow without rushing and friendly and entertaining. The different foods were delicious and a good amount both as value for money and in ratio to the amount of walking. We were a very happy group!
Had a great time, it was fun and host was awesome. Tried a wide variety of food including beer and wine.

What a wonderful experiential walking tour - learned a lot about food, the history of center city and local Italian culture. Ramona was an excellent tour guide - request her if you can! She not only kept the tour interesting with added details, but also was very open to random questions from the group. Highly recommend this tour!

We really enjoyed our food walking tour. Marta was relaxed, friendly and fun to follow and hang out with. We were very happy with the food experience, the information and ‘colour’ about the things we ate, and tidbits about Rome and Italian culture. The walk never felt long even though it was 2.5 hours and it was a REALLY hot day! Our big big thanks to Marta for making it a very enjoyable!

Francesca was a wonderful guide! We were a family with young children and she handled the “extra energy” of the kids seamlessly. She was super knowledgeable, answered all our food related questions as well as a few general “living in Rome” type questions. It was a really hot day… she always found shady spots for us to stand in and made sure we had plenty of cold water to drink at every stop. Highly recommend!
Thanks a million! We are have happy to hear you had a great time with us! All the best for the future!
