Outstanding experience, great value!

Lisa_R, Sept 2023

Arianna was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, gracious and patient! She went above and beyond, taking us to a variety of carefully selected food venues. Definitely not a touristy lineup, but quality places where the locals go. Not only were all the food and wine choices delicious, but the cooking class was outstanding as well. We learned how to make pasta, then enjoyed our delicious meal together. Great value for the money, and we highly recommend this tour and guide!

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Dear guest, thank you for taking the time to leave us a great review! We're glad you liked our Trastevere Food Tour & Pasta Making Class and our guide Arianna!

Wonderful guide

Maria_F, Sept 2023

We had a wonderful time. My husband and I have been on a lot of food tours and this one was definitely the best. Arianna was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, warm and just charming. The highlight was the pasta making session. My husband, who doesn’t even boil water, can’t wait to get home and make some pasta with me. Arianna also gave us some great recommendations for bars and restaurants near our hotel and they were great.

Really Enjoyed

Melinda_R, Apr 2023

Walter, our tour guide, was wonderful! Every place he took us had a great backstory, and we were really educated on the differences of the foods served in each region of Italy. Spoiler alert, you won't find any GMOs on the menus in Italy. The pasta making class was fun but I think I would have preferred skipping that part and visiting more places, sampling more local foods. We were a party of 8 and it was the perfect size.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you Melinda, for taking the time to leave us an amazing review! We're glad you enjoyed our Trastevere Pasta Making Food Tour and our Valter!

This is a must for a foodie!

Matthew_S, Oct 2019

Toni was phenomenal. She knew her stuff, was fun, engaging and I’d request her if you can! We learned Trastavere history, food, market tips, butcher tips, recipes and the food was delicious. Do not eat before this tour.

Fabulous and fun way to learn more about Italian culture

Regina_M, Oct 2018

GiGi was our tour guide and made our trip so enjoyable! She was friendly, fun and knowledgeable. The food choices were fantastic and most of them we had never tried. Come hungry because there is a lot to eat on the tour! I definitely recommend this tour.

Same as usual, Nov 2017

We loved this food tour, we got to try the local favorites and our tour guide Domenico was phenomenal, he was the highlight of the tour. We had a small group of four and domenico explained to us that entering these shops and restaurants was similar to entering their homes and taught us phrases on how to great and thank them in Italian. We loved all the food especially the porchetta and were happy with such an authentic personalized experience.

ireneb4444, Oct 2017

This was a wonderful experience. Who doesn't want to try different food in Italy?? this tour covered so many restaurants and so much food it was amazing on all counts. Plus, the neighborhood of Trastevere is very special and a great difference from central Rome. Our tour guide was not only extremely knowledgeable,, he was so nice, funny and made the tour great. I would highly recommend this to all who visit Rome, love food and want to get a close look at the neighborhoods and the people who grow, make and eat the local food.

This was the best way to keep us...

William_S, Sept 2017

This was the best way to keep us upright after flying overnight to Rome. We walked around this small neighborhood and were wowed with the tasty items and the history of the food, shops, traditions. After the tour, we checked into our hotel had left luggage there earlier and were in bed by 5 pm but slept like babies through the night and then off to our cruise ship the next morning.

deborah l, Sept 2017

Francesco was an engaging group leader giving a bit of historical background to the various shopkeepers businesses. The food was great and a chance to spend time as a group enjoying the local area from a different angle than one normally would,

MK, July 2017

This tour was one of the highlights of my Rome stay. We had a small friendly group, and Dario, our guide, was enthusiastic and very informative about the area and the food tasting was excellent. Would highly recommend, and it's best to come a little hungry. Revisited some of the places in the following days after the tour and was not disappointed.

Awesome tour! Our tour guide...

Michele F, June 2017

Awesome tour! Our tour guide, Sarah, was informative and very helpful. We toured the streets of Trastevere of some family owned bakeries, restaurants, a butchery, and fresh market. My two teenage daughters loved the tour as well-- we all had plenty of food! I would highly recommend this tour.

The tour was great as the food was good but also because it really showed us a slightly different side of Rome as compared to everything we have already seen.

Amelia_V, May 2017

We loved this tour! Food was delicious. From suppli, prosciutto, porchetta, gelato, pasta, wine, desserts and more. Simply Authentic Italian. But what made this tour Great was the tour guide - Domenico. He is truly a Gem in Trastevere. He is very informative, funny, caring and very helpful. We learned a lot about the Roman food traditions and history of the area of Trastevere. We felt very satisfied. Domenico treated us like family, remembering all our names and the food we like. He even introduced some of his friends and relatives in the area. Lastly, before the tour ended, he took effort to call taxis for those who needed ride back to their hotels. He gave us directions to grocery stores, church and pharmacy. I would like to especially thank Domenico for helping me get a cough medicine for I was coughing really hard that time. My husband and I are very grateful to you and your company. We highly recommend this great tour. Small-Group Food Tour In Trastevere.

Trastevere is quality! Great...

Nick_S, May 2017

Trastevere is quality! Great, satisfying, educational and entertaining tour led by Dario. Highly recommended.

Jane P, Jan 2017

I am normally one of those lazy people who read reviews to decide what to do but never get round to actually writing a review on my own personal experiences - today I am making an exception. The tour was an amazing way to start our holiday, Domenico guided us through Trastevere introducing us to local vendors and restaurateurs, tasting the most fantastic foods on our way, learning about local traditions, history and delicacies with hints and tips on what to look out for, and how to ask for it during the rest of our stay. I truly can not recommend this enough - but be warned make sure you are really hungry as the food is plentiful, we didnt eat for the rest of the day!!

Our guide was very knowledgeable...

Edward Y, Dec 2016

Sherri W, Dec 2016

Pretty boring, especially considering the price. The guide was really nice, friendly but not a good tour. I would not recommend.

Great tour with entertaining...

Tina K, Nov 2016

Great tour with entertaining, knowledgeable Luca! Visited wonderful range of traditional food stores and producers and tasted the most amazing porchetta, suppli, gelato, cheese, proscuitto, bigne, the list goes on. Followed by a delicious lunch and two desserts, foodie heaven!! The perfect way to experience Roman food and the area of Trastevere!
