This is a must do tour. Aliessa our guide is amazing. Very good historical knowledge and also knows her food. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour. Lucky it was a private tour, but a group would work also.
Luca gave us the BEST tour of Rome through food! We tried many new foods and neighborhoods. He walked at a great pace as we are slow walked and was mindful of that. He was great to communicate with and we enjoyed hearing his great stories of Rome, both old and new!
