Delicious and informative! - Our guide Christian was wonderful! Our group had troubles finding the starting point and Christian was really patient and waited for us! He was very informative and respectful. Our group of 4 don't drink wine or coffee, so he offered us some soft drinks. The food options we visited were broad and offered a large variety. I personally loved everything he presented! Delicious! He explained the history behind the food well also. All around great tour! Derek Lang, United States

Taste testing and indulging - Wow what an incredible experience. You have to DEFINITELY do this tour when in Rome. Marco was the best tour guide and we tried so many types of foods. Everything we tried was absolutely incredibly and nothing like I’ve tasted before. The wine and cheeses were phenomenal.
