A Perfect Night in Testaccio

5.00This private nighttime food tour was an absolute five-star experience. Our guide, Giulia, along with Greta who was in training, were both wonderful—warm, knowledgeable, and made the evening feel so personal. Every food stop was incredibly authentic, and you could feel how proud the staff and owners were to share their specialties with us. There was so much food, and every bite was delicious. We especially loved exploring Testaccio, a lively neighborhood with a rich history, and getting a true glimpse into local Roman life.
A great food tour of places we would have overlooked.

5.00The food was awesome! The spleen sandwich was interesting. So unusual ! And the chef won a tv show with best street food! Our group was delightful! Simone is who brought everything together and explained the food, culture, history, and her grandmother’s cooking? She truly was the star of the afternoon!!! Highly recommend! If you get Simone… lucky you!!!

The perfect Roman food tour

5.00We had enjoyed a Streaty food tour in Palermo, so we had high hopes for Rome, and Julia delivered! Her love of Roman food and sharing special spots in her neighborhood is what put this over the top. The variety and number of stops were perfect. Everything we ate (and drank) was delicious and authentic. We especially enjoyed being able to engage with the owners at a couple of the spots. We’d recommend this tour in a heartbeat to anyone wanting the true Roman food experience, with some amazing history along the way!
Loved this experience

5.00This was really fun. The guide Nadia was very knowledgeable and was very fun and friendly. Wish I had done this the first day, because it was Nadia gave a lot of useful information about the foodscene in Palermo.
Great insight into the markets and food of Palermo
