We had an amazing experience in this tour and it was not only about the food. Monica, our guide, is fantastic - she told us so many interesting stories about Rome and the Jewish quarter. Food was super tasty, we had many great local delicacies including great wine and beer. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

We had Laura taking our tour and she was absolutely brilliant. We tried a variety of traditional Italian foods and learnt about the ancient history of Rome. Her knowledge was amazing and the pizza was to die for! Would recommend to anyone visiting Rome.

Aside for the delicious food, our evening was sprinkled with bits of history and stories you would not read from school books. Emilio offered suggestions of other activities to do in the area. Fabulous work!

You learn how to find good food in Rome and the guide Monique was really good. Also we had a small group which was really nice.

What a great and informative food tour! Love how friendly the guide is as well!
