A highly recommended way to spend half a day in Rome - This was an excellent day activity in Rome’s Testaccio neighborhood, led by the very knowledgeable and charming Luca. We met at 10:30 in the morning and went to our first stop — a local restaurant for cured meats, cheeses and wines. We then went to the market where we tried bruschetta, caprese salad and street food. Lunch of several different pasta types was followed by gelato at Rome’s oldest gelato spot. It was a great and affordable way to spend four hours in Rome, with special care taken to our particular dietary needs. Highly recommend!

Guide never showed up - This is the second time I attempted to take this food tour—2 years ago, I had a great experience and wanted to go again while in Rome this week. I had reached out to the tour company in the morning, as our flight was slightly delayed and we were running behind schedule. We ended up being on time—10 minutes ahead of the requested arrival time, in fact—and I communicated this to the tour company with several emails back and forth. At the designated meeting point, we found another couple who had gotten the times confused and arrived a full hour early. We sat chatting with them, only to discover the tour guide was late. We finally gave up waiting 45 minutes past the scheduled time and left to find water and food, as the temperature had topped out around 100F that day. The tour company insisted I had not been in communication or at the correct spot because their guide was there and departed with the rest of the group on time—and is therefore refusing me a refund. We paid over $200 to take the tour, not to mention the $76 Uber from the airport to get there on time, and still didn’t get to take the tour. I’ll be taking it up with Viator and/or my credit card company.
