A perfect blend of interesting facts and tasty treats! - We had a food tour cancelled so booked this option last minute and we’re so glad that we did! Matteo (spelling?) met our group of 6 with a big smile and a check of dietary requirements (which was good as I am vegetarian). We set off on our tour which was a perfect blend of interesting facts and tasty street food treats. We sampled cheeses (plus meats) with wine, suppli (deep fried balls of rice, tomatoes and mozzarella), pizzas with beer, deep fried artichokes and gelato. The 6pm start worked out well too as we were quite full by the end! There are so many food tour options out there but this one worked perfectly for us. Would recommend.

Great education on specialties of Roma . - Francesca was an excellent guide. She explains the particular aspects of the foods sampled that are unique to Roma. Loved the tour only thing that could make it better would be if we could have had chairs at the stops. It’s hard to say focused when you’re tired of standing.

Good but others were better - We did two food tours while in Rome. I’m giving this one four stars because the other one (Trastevere) was superior. Daniel’s passion for the Jewish culture definitely came through on this tour, the we loved the gelato at the end. However, our other tour had better pizza and Supplì, so we just liked the other one better.
