We set this up with Gabriel, who was very helpful and accommodating. Our guide Luca was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about Rome's food history and brought us to some great hidden gem locations. My son and I had an amazing time!
Make sure you are hungry because you will taste a lot of wonderful food. Our guide Luca was fantastic. I highly recommend this food tour !!
We booked this not knowing much about Roman food. Gabi grew up in the area and knew exactly where to go and why. We got to experience food from all over Italy and even got recommendations of where to go on our visit to Venice. The food was the best and everyone we met was kind and enjoyed sharing their food with us. This is the trip for real foodies. Nothing trendy or over hyped. Just were real people get their fresh food and enjoy! I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone wanting a real local experience!
We had a fantastic food tour of Rome with Gabi. He has an exuberant personality, and an in depth knowledge of and pride in neighborhoods and cuisine in Rome. He took us to a wonderful food market where we sampled all kinds of foods typical of Rome, along with other stops. We had so much fun tasting everything and meeting and spending time with Gabi. Very highly recommend him!

We loved our tour with Gabi! He showed us so many tasty spots in the market and shared some local insights into Rome. We brought our 1.5 year old with us and Gabi was absolutely wonderful with her. Can’t recommend this tour enough.
Thank you so much for yout feedback! <3
This was our second Rome food tour with Gabi - loved the first one so much that we came back a year later. Gabi really went out of his way to make sure we experienced a really unique side of this wonderful city, and on our second tour made sure we had no repeats. I can't recommend Gabi's tours highly enough, they were both our absolute highlights in Rome. And in this city, that's saying a lot! Thanks Gabi!

Tour in the heart of Rome made with passion. We tasted the best specialties of the neighborhood: pizza in a pan, supplì al telefono, and exquisite gelato while strolling through the enchanting alleys of Trastevere, where it is not difficult to still find people gathering in front of the bar to play cards. Through anecdotes, stories, and glimpses of neighborhood life, we spent an unforgettable afternoon. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for yout feedback! <3
