Our guide, Chiara, stole the show! She was bright, funny and adamant that there should be no pineapple on pizza. The food was amazing and the hospitality even better
Our guide Vincenzo was very engaging and knowledgeable about the foods we sampled. Everything was really tasty and I felt it was very good value for money. I would recommend!!
We travelled with a family of four including two boys, ages 10 and 13. The food tour was a highlight of our time in Italy! We enjoyed our time with Michael, and appreciated the information he shared in an engaging way. The food was delicious and it was presented in such a fun way. We all enjoyed it, and we appreciated how Michael interacted with our boys. You will not be disappointed if you do this tour. Not only will you eat amazing food and drink delicious wine, but you will enjoy hearing from Italian shop owners and see just how special this place is.
We had an absolutely amazing time with Alessandra on our food tour! The food was authentic with hole-in-the-wall spots… was barely able to finish my gelato at the end! Wine is also great (and unlimited). Alessandra really made the tour special, with history and context to everything we were eating and drinking. Highly recommend this tour!!!
Delicious cheese, truffles, pizza, prosciutto, pasta and seriously big pours of wine... with our amazing host Michael. Can't go wrong👌🏻
A definite 5 star experience. Amazing guide snd plenty of delicious food
Charlotta was a wonderful guide. From the first pour of prosecco to last bite of gelato this experience was more than anticipated. The food was great, the information provided on each stop was very interesting, and each of the restaurants was a unique experience. Highly recommend this tour - just make sure you start out hungry. Believe me you will be full by the end of your tour!
Vincenzo was amazing!!!!! We learned so much about all the food we were eating! You will leave stuffed so come hungry!!!!! And I hope you like wine- they had pairings with everything!! So glad we did this tour and ate all this authentic Italian food!!!! Cannot recommend Vincenzo enough. He was amazing!!!! And so knowledgeable !!!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our food tour with Michael was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Rome! We had such an amazing time and would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience authentic Roman food and culture. We started at a small local café, where Michael introduced us to Rome’s coffee culture and explained how Italians enjoy their coffee. It was such a great way to begin the morning and made us feel like we were experiencing the city like locals. From there, we stopped for some incredible pizza before heading back to enjoy a wonderful wine tasting with delicious cheeses, fresh bread, flavorful spreads, and truffle. Everything we tasted was fresh and authentic. Next, we visited a local market where we sampled prosciutto, a variety of cheeses, fresh pasta, local wine, and an amazing crispy pork sandwich that reminded me of what we call chicharrón in my culture. Every stop offered something different, and Michael explained the history and traditions behind the foods, which made the experience even more meaningful. We finished the tour with a delicious pasta dish and, of course, another glass of wonderful Italian wine. By the end, we were completely full and so happy we chose this tour! What really made the experience special was Michael. He was friendly, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. It never felt rushed, and you could tell he genuinely loves sharing the food, history, and culture of Rome with others. This was so much more than a food tour—it felt like spending the day with a local friend who wanted to show us the very best of Rome. If you’re visiting the city, don’t miss this experience. It was worth every minute and is something we’ll always remember!
We did the Prati Gour tour with Vivien. Highly suggest. Vivien was awesome, very knowledgeable. Food and wine was so delicious.
