Chris was absolutely fantastic So so much history And so many fantastic stops with the best food in Rome! Absolutely not to be missed
Our guide I believe her name was Serena was above and beyond excellent of the area informative patient touring with an elderly person
Christian was our guide and he was terrific. He had a lot of knowledge of the food we tasted and the area we walked. He was fun, engaging and personable. It was a great tour!
The Trastevere & Ghetto Walking Tour and Food Tasting was so much fun. Our guide, Christian, was very informative, charming and entertaining. From one stop to the next, we learned so much and enjoyed both the food and the history behind the restaurant stops. I can't recommend him and the tour highly enough!
Christian was extremely knowledgeable and provided an entertaining but detailed history of the area. The tastings were delicious….highly recommend.
We were lucky to get a very small group just us and another couple. We were really pleased with our guide. He was fun and had great information. We learned so much about history. His English was great and very easy to understand. I wish we started our trip with this tour instead of doing it our last full day in Rome. We got so many tips and recommendations for restaurants that would have made our time in Rome so much better if we did it earlier. Start your trip with this tour!
Our tour guide-Daniel was the best part! The information and his passion for history made our tour most memorable! The food AND the introduction to the food was fun and delicious! We have even more appreciation for Rome and its history thanks to Daniel! Loved it!
We had been to Rome before to see all of the "big" sites so this was the perfect way to learn about local neighborhoods and foods. The fried artichoke was awesome and we ended with some excellent gelato, Virginia was a great guide.
Virginia was great! She walked us around the areas and was really knowledgeable. The food was really good too! A good variety of sweet and savory
