5.00Had an amazing experience with Andrei. He was super nice, knowledgable and funny. Loved the experience and had a really good time. He also was very accommodating for my girlfriend who was dizzy and helped her.
Start here!

5.00The food was delicious and Andrea kept us moving and awake even though we arrived just a few hours before from US. Fun way to start the trip!

5.00This was such a delightful experience for two Americans who had never traveled to Rome. Our guide was so kind, and the food/restaurant selections she chose were a perfect sampling.

5.00One of the best tours we went on. Andrea was an amazing tour guide. He kept my entire family entertained and it was very interesting. I would highly recommend going on this food experience tour. A little history, taste testing different foods, had a nice dinner at a really cool restaurant and topped it off with the best gelatos in Rome.
Food tour combines with history of Rome including a hidden theater

5.00One of us had a nut allergy and we were very well taken care of. We felt safe and knew exactly what was OK to eat and what we should not eat. All of the food was delicious. We loved the cheese and meat platter. The pizza from the bakery was the best pizza we had the whole trip. The pastas were amazing but the restaurant was even cooler. We ended with gelato which again was the best we had our whole trip. Highly highly recommend! Andre was wonderful! We had to teenagers and he was great with them.

5.00We were so looking forward to both our What a Life tours in Rome but due to the Covid 19 effect, we have chosen to postpone our visit to a future date as well as our prepaid tours! What a Life tours have been fantastic in advising us to take either a voucher for 100% of the prepaid fees good for 2 years or a 90% refund...their prompt and efficient service guarantees that we will look forward to both these tours again! Thank you WALT!
Date Night with Marta

5.00My wife and I booked this tour as a way to orient ourselves to the food scene in Rome, and are so glad we did. We ended up being the only ones who had signed up for our time slot, and spent our evening dining and drinking with Marta! She was an excellent guide, with great knowledge both of the history of culinary tradition, and where great finds were! She helped us visualize the whole city at different times in history, and above all was great company. We were joking with her the whole time, and this was a lovely start to our trip to Rome!
Fantastic Food Tour

5.00My husband and I booked this four hour food tour our first night in Rome and it was well worth it. All of the food was absolutely amazing and the tour guide specifically focused on the local food as the subject of the tour versus history of the area. That being said, it also gives you a chance to get grounded on your surroundings in central Rome. I believe the tour guide's name was Andrea - he was very knowledgeable and fun to hang out with for a few hours! He also gave us recommendations for the rest of our time in Rome. I highly recommend!

5.00We had an excellent evening with jasmine. Group size of 7 was nice. Restaurant locations and specialties were spread out enough to get a flavor for different areas. Would highly recommend. Fun and engaging.

5.00The three of us took this tour with Jasmine as our guide. There were a total of 7 of us in this tour. Great group of friendly people. Jasmine was a wonderful host informing us on the history of the neighborhoods and the regional foods. It was a great variety of foods and drinks. Abundant and delicious! Jasmine is the best and her knowledge of Rome's food and drink is amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour with her and highly recommend this to everyone.
