Sounded good, and we received the description, however my expectations were different, maybe because of the word pampered in the description. I found the guide to be overly talkative and could have said everything she needed to say in half of the words. I got bored and we almost left the tour in the center. Several couples left the tour early because they can't stand that long. For the $78 I would do my own walk around the city and a internet search about the history.

This is one of the best food tours I've ever been on, if not THE best. Roberta shared so many interesting facts and history of the area. We've previously just travelled through the city to/from the port and Rome and so glad we took the opportunity this time to explore and enjoy this food tour. Highly highly recommend!!
