If you book this tour please ask for the tour guide Daniele! He is THE BEST!! This was not only a food tour, but also a history tour. My entire family had a great time, we ate so many Roman specific dishes and all around wonderful food. We also learned a lot about Rome and its history that is not in other tours.
