One of our favorite tours in Rome and Florence! Kept the kids very interested and engaged. The tour guide was fantastic! Dario was really great and so interesting. It was worth every penny and we would highly recommend it with kids. Our kids are ages 13, 11, 7, 5 and 1. Normally we’d think we would need a private tour but the tour guide was able to engage the whole group. Loved the history of the area and the background facts on food and culture.

Davide was an amazing tour leader. In addition to bringing us to these great places to eat, he gave us additional information on Italian food. It gave me a better appreciation and a greater desire to be able to do better when cooking my pasta. It further confirmed to me that Italian cooking doesn’t need to be complicated. You just need to have good quality ingredients and, of course, cook it right. The artichoke and the porchetta were my favorite but I would gladly eat any of the food we ate anytime. It was definitely an experience I would cherish forever. The 4 hours passed by quickly as we were continuously entertained by Davide’s stories. Also, before the tour ended, Davide even gave us a link to a recipe website which makes me excited all the more to cook my own Italian food when I get home.

We enjoy local food tours and found this tour with Walter (from Australia) to be interesting and very informative. Walter is also a professional chef so not only did he provide interesting details of the historic areas as we walked but also gave a lot of great insight of the food and cooking techniques. Would we tour again with Walter, YES!, without any hesitation. You definitely should book a tour with him because he is so good!

We participated in the golf cart food tour of Rome and we say this is a must do! Our tour guide, Luca Murphy, made the tour even better! Luca Murphy was absolutely charming, insightful, helpful, and lots of fun! This specific tour was highly recommended by a travel book we read and boy do we agree with the recommendation! We loved this tour because we knew we could see some interesting landmarks along the golf cart ride while learning about Rome through food...the gateway to any culture! The other reason we booked this tour was due their expert gastronomical guidance which could be trusted to steer us clear of the "tourist trap" restaurants who prey on tourists by offering mediocre, non-authentic food at exaggerated prices. But, we knew we could count on this particular food tour because they bring you to some of the most amazing, family-ran restaurants where a lot of locals eat so you know you aren't getting tourist-trap food. Food, drink, Rome scenery, and riding a golf cart through Rome is a fantastic way to experience Rome! And if you lucky enough to get Luca Murphy, then you will be with one of the best tour guides we've ever met in our entire lives!

I had such a great time on the Twilight Trastevere Rome Food Tour! The food was absolutely delicious, and the whole experience was so much fun. Our guide, Luca Murphy, was fantastic—super knowledgeable, engaging, and funny. He made the tour feel really personal, sharing great stories about the history of Trastevere and giving us awesome recommendations. Every stop had incredible food, from traditional Roman dishes to delicious street food, and the wine pairings were perfect. Walking through Trastevere in the evening gave the whole experience a magical feel. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Luca Murphy as your guide!

Davide was an incredible guide!
We joined his food tour and cooking class, and it was such a memorable experience from start to finish. We began with a visit to a local shop to pick out our ingredients, where Davide shared the rich history and traditions behind each one, plus a few delicious tastings along the way!
Then we headed to the kitchen to make his grandmother’s pasta recipes, fettuccine and ravioli, completely from scratch. And of course, we got to enjoy everything we made! Absolutely delicious!
Highly recommend booking this experience with Davide. It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in pasta, tradition, and fun!

Had a wonderful time on the Twilight Trastevere tour! The tour guide, Toni, was absolutely awesome. She was so informative, personable, and at each stop she seemed to know every staff member as a friend. The food was great, the history was great, the "what to watch out for" and general Rome tips were the best. The group we were with was great to speak with. And by the end we were so full! I would definitely recommend this tour to a friend, and would reserve another tour in another European city after this!
