Such a fantastic experience! The food and wine was amazing! The history we learned was so much fun. We visited a wine cellar in an old Roman house from 80BC underneath a restaurant where we ate a pork stew made from a recipe exactly from a covenant from Julius Caesar’s personal chef. Perfect experience and highlight of our trip to Rome! Our guide, Luca Murphy, was wonderful!

Trastevere is a MUST! Our experience with our tour guide Cillian Murphy, I mean Lucca Murphy, was fantastic! He was warm, funny, and engaging with all the guests in our group. He explained the history of each place we visited and shared personal stories that filled any “lulls” while waiting for food haha! The tour was about 4 hours long (which I didn’t realize or remember after booking lol) but it felt like the right amount of time. Our group was about 11 people in total.
They brought out a tiramisu with a candle to celebrate our honeymoon as well, so sweet! Come with an empty stomach because you WILL be full by the end! I highly recommend doing this tour (and it’s worth the price) because the backstory gives the food much more significance. It’s been fun to pass along the stories now that we are home. AND you beat the lines/skip making reservations to try some of the best eats in town (which you may have never known about)! I miss the Suppli and biscotti already and my husband is still dreaming of the porchetta!! Trastevere is just as magical as Rick Steve’s said.

We had a wonderful time eating and seeing parts of Rome on the golf cart tour we would have never seen just walking. Out guide was the best. Highly recommend this tour. The food and drinks were excellent.

I absolutely loved this tour! As a self-proclaimed foodie, I can attest to the quality of everything we tasted! We stopped at 6 or 7 places (I've already lost track!), and I loved all of them. If I really had to choose, I would say da Enzo, Il Spirito di Vino, and L'Elementare were my top 3, but I'd go back to any of them! Valéria was a fantastic tour guide. I would highly recommend booking the tour with her!

We had a wonderful morning exploring the tastes, sights and smells of Testaccio with Walter as our guide. A true foodie, with extensive knowledge of the history of food in Italy. You do not need to eat prior to this tour as you will experience an array of foods along with beer & wine. Don’t miss this fun and delicious taste of Italy!

One of my favorite things we’ve done in Italy! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and sociable. We had 7 stops altogether and everything we ate was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It was really cool to be able to learn more about Trastevere and the history of the area. Would absolutely do this again, 10/10 recommend!!

Very fun tour!! Do not use Apple map for meeting point, took us to the river walk and I had to contact the urgent number provided in the email. Had great conversations with the others in the group. It was about 13 of us. All the stops were so great and by the end of the night I was very full! Emiliano was a very nice man, educated and funny tour guide!
