If you’re thinking about doing this tour, just GO FOR IT. I did it solo and ended up chatting with this couple from Belgium and we shared like, 3 types of cheese and some wine that tasted EPIC. Our guide, Marco, was hilarious and made learning about olive oil way more fun than I ever thought possible (there’s actually a right way to taste it, who knew). Was a little warm walking to the market but honestly, food stops kept us happy. Def recommend you show up hungry.

Me, my mom, and my sister did the food tour on a whim and, wow, it was one of the best ideas of our trip. Our guide, Giuseppe, was like a walking encyclopedia but not boring AT ALL. He shared stories about his nonna’s secret tomato sauce and even gave us recs for where to get the real gelato (not the neon stuff). Weather was a bit hot but stops were spaced out nicely. Loved it.

Went with my bf, we both love food and this was a real treat. The guide (Francesca I think?) was super friendly and answered all the questions, even the weird ones lol. My fav was the tiramisu at the last stop. Only thing, the market was kinda crowded so sometimes it was hard to hear but still SO worth it.

Explore Rome’s flavors just steps from the Vatican, moving from Trionfale’s lively market to Prati’s elegant streets.

Spend 4 hours tasting gourmet pizza at the famed Pizzarium, artisanal cheeses, cured meats, Barolo wine with fresh pasta, and authentic gelato.

Soak in two sides of Rome: the buzzing market energy of Trionfale and the refined dining of Prati, far from tourist-heavy spots.

Pick your vibe: a morning tour for market buzz or an evening stroll for Rome’s nightlife charm.

Had a good time with friends. Our group got a bit lost finding the meeting point (Google maps is weird here), but once we started, it was smooth. Learned how to pick out real balsamic, which I'm now obsessed with. Staff was nice, food was fresh, and I left stuffed. Bring water if it's sunny.

Pretty good overall. The wine tasting part dragged a bit for me, but my wife loved it. Pasta portion was smaller than I expected but the salami was DELISH. Our group was big, maybe too big? Still, guide handled it as best she could.
