Awesome experience - Lisa was an amazing tour guide. We were lucky in that it was just my wife and I but our guide did such a good job explaining everything. She was not just knowledgeable of coffee and gelato but also the history of Rome. Such a good experience and I would suggest this to anyone who loves coffee and gelato

Talk about Dolci Vita! - Chose to do this tour on our first afternoon in Rome hoping the espresso would keep us going 😉! We ended up having a private tour with just my daughter and me! Our tour guide Fede was amazing! She was fun, energetic, engaging, and shared many details about espresso and how to hunt out natural gelato! By the end, she felt like a friend and I was sad she couldn’t just hang out with us! What a wonderful introduction to Rome and its people! Thank you, Fede!

One of the best tours in Rome - This tour was one of the best we did while in Italy! Federica and Andy were so fun and informative. We ended up having a private tour because no one else booked so we could ask all the questions we wanted and just hang out and have fun. The espresso was fantastic as well as the gelato, granita and tiramisu. The great quality coffee made all the difference! Would highly recommend this excursion!

This was a great way to... - This was a great way to see some of Rome, taste some great food, and learn how to spot “real” gelato for the rest of our trip. Our guide was excellent and really engaged with our kids. This is an especially great activity for the start of a trip to Rome.

Skip dessert at lunch and join this tour instead. - My wife and I wanted to try different styles of Roman coffee, and this tour left us absolutely satisfied. First, we visited Günther gelato, a cozy gelateria - try the pine flavour! Next, we enjoyed an espresso (just called caffé in Italian), a caffè granita and, last but not least, another espresso made with a typical Italian percolator (called a moka). The tour finished with a choice between classical, pistacchio, strawberry, peanut or caramel tiramisu. Luca, our guide, was friendly, very knowledgeable and dedicated to answer all our questions. And as a local food guide, he was allowed to skip the line, so no unnecessary waiting! We wholeheartedly recommend the tour for all coffee enjoyers.
