One of the Best Experiences of Our Entire Trip

5.00We had the absolute best time on our food tour in Monteverde with Frederica. From the moment we met her, it was obvious she truly loves her neighborhood and that made all the difference. Every stop on the tour felt like stepping into a local gem we never would’ve found on our own. She walked us from place to place she personally handpicked. At the daily market, we visited a tiny produce stand where they made fresh-squeezed juice with carrot, apple, and other amazing flavors. We even ended up meeting a famous artist who lives in the neighborhood. Then we stopped at a deli for Chianti and a spread of sliced meats and cheeses, and the way each shop greeted her like they see her every day which made us feel like we were getting a true insider’s experience. Our kids stayed engaged and excited the entire time, which is saying something. The rhythm of the tour was perfect: relaxed, authentic, and full of stories. Somehow all the noise and crowds of Rome disappeared, and it felt like we were just wandering from one great moment to the next while learning about the area, the history, even Julius Caesar. This was some of the best money we spent on our trip. Truly worth every euro. If we ever return to Rome, I would book every one of their tours, without hesitation. It was that good.
Must do authentic Roman food tour!

5.00I follow this company on Instagram and wondered if the experience would be as good in real life. Well let me tell you it was EVEN BETTER than on Instagram. Our guide was the beautiful Frederica. From the moment we met she made us all feel like old friends catching up to spend a morning together. Federica took us to places that have been run by families passed on to the next generations that keep up the traditions that they were raised with. It is the best value most authentic food walking tour that you could possibly do in Rome. It is out of the tourist area of Rome in the area Federica grew up in - Monte Verde. It is very easy to get to by bus from Rome or an inexpensive taxi ride if you aren’t confident on pubic transport. I highly recommend this tour and would consider doing it again for the pure joy of the whole experience! One word of warning: DON’T EAT BEFORE THE TOUR!! There is so much deliciousness that you need plenty of room to enjoy every bite. Thank you Federica for a wonderful adventure!
The BEST ever experience in Rome

5.00Sometimes you follow things on social media that look amazing but sadly disappoint in person. Please note: This is NOT the case with Live Virtual Guide!!!! Federica is even more engaging in person than she is on Instagram. She immediately made us feel like friends hanging out together rather than being part of a tour. Sometimes in Rome you see huge groups of people following someone carrying an umbrella and wonder what if anything they get from that type of tour. But this tour is completely the opposite! Federica took us to amazing places filled with a real sense of community where we were made to feel extremely welcome. I can’t even begin to describe how delicious the food is. The only way you will know is to do this tour for yourself! I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. If you want an authentic Roman experience, please do this tour. But one warning. Go with an empty stomach to make room for all the tasty treats you are going to eat. Thanks again Federica for a beautiful experience. I can’t wait to do so another tour! Julie
Great Tour!

5.00If anyone desires to eat like a local this is the tour for you. There is a personal touch to the tour which is above and beyond. We are not just a face in the crowd and questions for our guide were all answered. The food quality and selection is amazing. I cannot stress what a great time I had. I have left this tour with great memories.

5.00Frederica is an excellent guide. You really have to go where the locals go to discover good Italian food. I enjoyed seeing a different side of Rome while in Monteverde.
Monteverde must do!!

5.00Frederica is awesome. She took us where the locals go and showed us a different part of the city where we would have never ventured. We visited a variety of family owned establishments. She was very knowledgeable with a great personality. Highly recommend this tour!
Local flavors were amazing with delicious visits to non-tourist spots

5.00Our walking food tour through a non-touristy neighborhood was led by an amazing guide who was personable and very informative! We started with a local breakfast of fluffy pastry and cappuccino then walked through a real neighborhood market meeting the owners of a multigenerational produce stand and store to taste their homemade fruit juices, followed by a deli where we tasted many deli meats and cheeses with a bit of wine, then a very local bakery for a special type of pizza and finally the most delicious gelato. We are stuffed and very happy to imagine life in a Roman neighborhood. This was a fun start to our Roman vacation.
