Kat was an amazing guide! We had such a lovely time on this tour. We had a small group, only 6 people. We started at a cheese and meat shop, went to a local restaurant where we made and enjoyed two types of pasta and wine, and then finished with an amazing local gelato place. I would definitely book this tour again, we had a wonderful experience!

This was one of the highlights of our 2 weeks in Italy! Our guide was energetic and really funny. We walked all around Trastevere on a Saturday night and the neighborhood was alive with people. Most of the places we went to had a line to get in, which we breezed right by. We chatted with owners about their food and culture, and got a real sense of place. The food was phenomenal - lots of small plates of different things.

Eating Europe is the way to go!!! Learned so much history, ate very good food, and my group was so fun! Marita took such good care of us. Love her humor and knowledge. My favorite part was at the end when she went over everything and everywhere we ate. I’m considering trying out other tours with them while I’m in Italy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Shout out Marita!

Our family loved this tour! Jasmin was such an absolute delight - a welcoming, engaging guide, warmly sharing the local traditions through to ancient history. The foods were fabulous as we tried specialties we never would have found on our own - including an unexpected visit to an ancient subterranean site. And such a treat to arrive at the varied restaurants to have each specialty freshly made and waiting for us. This was a highlight of our trip, absolutely recommended!

First time in Rome and on a golf cart foodie tour! Walter was very personable, funny, knowledgeable of the food and culture and kept us entertained and engaged. We were able to explore areas we would not have known about, there many hidden gems! It was fun hanging out with other couples and experiencing the local food and wine together. We had so much fun and would highly recommend the tour and having Walter be your guide !! 5 Stars
