"Luca was our guide and right from the start he was great. So personable and extremely knowledgeable about virtually everything but especially re: aperol’s history as well as wines and some great factoids about many things. The places he took us to were authentic and we would not have found them otherwise. HIGHLY recommend him and the tour. The food and drink did not disappoint! "

What Makes Trastevere, Giancolo Hill and Testaccio Special

Each of these neighborhoods highlights a different side of Rome, combining history, culture, and food in unique ways.

Trastevere is known for its lively, almost village-like atmosphere. Its narrow cobblestone streets and vibrant piazzas are lined with family-run trattorias, artisanal gelaterias, and tucked-away wine bars. Here, you can wander from one local favorite to another, tasting classic Roman dishes while soaking up the energy of locals going about their day. Evening brings the piazzas alive with music, conversation, and the aroma of fresh pasta — a truly immersive Roman experience.

Gianicolo Hill offers a quieter, more scenic side of the city. Away from the crowds, it’s perfect for taking in panoramic views of Rome while stopping at small cafes and local eateries. The neighborhood’s relaxed pace and residential charm make it a great place to enjoy traditional dishes and reflect on the city’s history and atmosphere.

Testaccio is the historic heart of Roman cuisine. Known for its bustling markets, street food stalls, and iconic dishes like coda alla vaccinara and carbonara, it preserves generations of culinary tradition. This working-class neighborhood has long been a hub for locals, and visiting it gives a genuine taste of Roman life that feels both authentic and timeless.

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Rome and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What food is Rome famous for?

It’s difficult to choose a ‘most famous’ with how many delicious dishes there are in Rome, but many locals say their favorites are either pizza bianca or pasta alla carbonara.

What’s included in the price of the food tour?

All food and drinks, as well as your professional local guide are included in the price you pay for the tour. No hidden charges or upsells here.

How long are the tours?

Our Rome tours range in length from 3 to 4 hours.

What neighborhoods or areas do the tours cover?

Each tour’s area can be found listed as its “location”. You might explore Testaccio, Trastevere, or Campo de Fiori!

What is the group size?

Our tours have maximum capacities of between 7-12 guests. This ensures that our small groups are able to move unobtrusively through the neighborhoods we explore, respecting our surroundings and the locals that live in Rome.

I’m traveling alone. Do you offer single tickets?

We love welcoming solo travelers! All of our tours are open to individual guests.

Food and Drink

What kind of food will we taste?

You will enjoy a selection of traditional Roman and Italian dishes that tell the story of Rome’s culinary culture, from classic pasta to street food favorites. Offerings may vary by day or season, but you’re sure to enjoy a delightful array of local flavors!

Are drinks included?

Yes. All tours include drinks, and they’re always included in the price you pay.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?

Vegetarian-Friendly Tours but vegan, gluten-free, or kosher options may be limited. Please share dietary restrictions upon booking for best accommodation. Note that tastings outside those catered for your needs are at your own risk. The company assumes no responsibility for any food allergies or intolerances. Guests with severe or life-threatening allergies cannot participate in this activity for their safety.

For full details, guests should always refer to the specific tour page, as limitations may vary.

Are portions enough for a meal?

Yes. On each of our Rome tours, you are guaranteed to eat at least the equivalent of a full meal.

Can I buy food or souvenirs at the stops?

Of course! If you would like to purchase something at one of the stops we make, you are welcome to do so yourself, or if you need assistance, you can ask your helpful guide.

Booking and Payment

How do I book?

Visit eatingeurope.com and click on the orange “Book Now” button: it’s simple as that! You will be able to choose your tour, date, time and number of guests before booking.

What forms of payment are accepted?

We accept major debit & credit card payments, iDEAL and Bancontact.

What should I wear?

There is no dress code on our tours, however it’s recommended to wear a good pair of shoes (these are walking tours, after all!) and be prepared for the elements, even though most of our stops are indoors.

Are tourists welcome in Rome?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Italian tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Rome.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Rome experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Tour Experience & Expectations

Will the guide speak my language?

Our guides are all fluent in English, and of course speak Italian as well. For requests for tours in other languages, please contact us.

Can I take photos during the tour?

Yes! You are welcome to take photos and videos of the food and scenery throughout your tour. If you would explicitly like to get photos of fellow guests or your guide, we kindly ask that you get their permission first.

Do I need to tip the guide?

Tips for our lovely guides are not required, but they are appreciated!

Will we visit the same places as other tours?

No. While some tours may have one or two stops which other groups visit (can’t help it if they’re popular!), Eating Europe are proud that the majority of stops on every Rome tour are restaurants and vendors who work exclusively with us, like Da Enzo al 29.

Do you offer private or custom tours?

We do! Please see the “Book a Private Tour” option or contact us, and we can arrange a private or custom Rome tour to suit your specific needs.
