A Fantastic Local Craft Beer Experience in Rome
We had such a great time on this beer tasting tour in Rome, and Annamarja was a fantastic guide!
We met her at a Metro stop near the Vatican Museums, in a neighborhood away from the main tourist areas, which made the experience feel much more local and authentic. She was a lot of fun, very knowledgeable, and shared plenty of interesting information about Rome’s growing craft beer scene.
At the first two stops, we sampled a selection of different beers, and at the third stop we were able to choose what we wanted to drink. The food was also excellent, and Annamarja introduced us to several local specialties along the way. By the end, we were so full that we actually had to decline the final treat!
What really made the tour special was Annamarja herself. She was warm, entertaining, and clearly passionate about both the beer scene and the neighborhood. It felt more like spending an evening exploring some favorite local beer bars with a friend than being on a typical tour.
I would highly recommend this experience, and especially Annamarja. She really made the evening memorable.

A Unique Taste of Rome
We wanted to explore somewhere different on our second trip to Rome and this tour sounded interesting, and it certainly was!! Marco was brilliant and we definitely had a unique experience exploring the Vatican area, discovering local food and craft beer that we wouldn’t have been able to find on our own. Highly recommend this tour with Marco.

A really tasty tour in Rome!!
We really enjoyed our 3-hour walk around Rome with Luca, discovering some well-known corners while stopping for excellent local food and craft beer along the way. Luca was very engaging and easy to follow, and his English was excellent. He shared lots of interesting stories about the area and took us to places we never would have found on our own. Thanks again Luca, it was such a pleasure spending the afternoon with you.

Much more than expected
We had the most amazing tour of Rome with Luca! We saw everything we had on our list and even a few places we didn’t know we wanted to see. On top of that, his knowledge of Rome’s history was incredible. He adapted the evening as we went along and even showed us one of the best views in the city. Honestly, he was the best!!!

So delicious
We did the food and drink tour with Clara and it was fantastic! We chose not to eat beforehand and that turned out to be the best decision because we were completely full by the end. Clara brought us to some of the top local spots in great locations and shared tons of recommendations for later. Thank you!

Lorenzo made our trip!
Our guide Lorenzo was fantastic throughout the entire beer experience. Beyond the many spots we explored, Lorenzo was an energetic host with tremendous insight. If we return to Rome, we would absolutely schedule another tour with him without hesitation.

Local Italian craft beers
Who would have thought - craft beers in Rome?Near the Vatican? With all that good Italian wine around? Our guide took us to a few different craft beer taprooms all within a short walking distance of the Vatican. Good diversion from the wine tastings for one night. Very good locally brewed beers. And some good food to go along with it. Our guide, Caterina, was Very personable!

Fantastic tour for my husband and I
Elisabetta was amazing, filling in for the normal guide who was sick. She was a lot of fun, customizing the experience for us, asking questions on our preferred beer styles.

Fantastic way to spend an evening in Rome
Daniele led us on a culinary odyssey through Rome's coolest spots sampling incredible artisanal brews and local bites. His knowledge of Roman gastronomy and culture added a touch of extra charm to the evening.. A foodie escapade to enjoy from start to finish. Five stars. Bravo Dany!
