The food on this tour was very good, a nice variety and all high quality. The tour took us through the Testaccio neighborhood on a nice walk. The guide was underwhelming. He didn’t give a lot of information about the food and had a very low key personality. He responded to questions when asked but didn’t volunteer much at all. It felt like he was going through the motions, and it ended 30 minutes early. We were a small group of four which was nice.
Our guide was late. Not the perfect start. He said he could not park. We were only 4 so that was nice. The food was amazing and the places we went interesting. I would have liked a little local history along with the food. I have done several food tours and that was always included.
A good introduction to food and markets in Rome. I have done this tour previously - did not find this time quite as good as lots of the previous tour had been removed. However, we had an excellent tour guide and what we did see was excellent. Lots of food tastings so highly recommend you don't have breakfast before the tour. And opportunities to purchase products to bring home with you.
Nice tour, very generous food portions. Ate till my stomach almost exploded!
Really enjoyed the places that we went to on this walk. Great way to see how the locals live away from the tourist areas of the centre of Rome
Got to experience Rome as the locals do! Guide Holly was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and accommodating!
