Toni was an absolutely superb tour guide for the Trastevere food tour in Rome. The food was incredible, the restaurants felt intimate (we got early entry before the general public for a few of them). Her storytelling is top notch and she is fast paced, in the BEST way. When you go to Rome you want to absorb the culture as best as you can in a short amount of time, and this tour was perfect for that. I also felt there was great camaraderie within our group because Toni started by asking everyone to introduce themselves. This led to great conversations with strangers while we ate great food and drank great wine. Toni was also super caring—I didn’t have my evening plans lined up for after the tour, and she asked me, “How are you getting home?” When I told her I wasn’t sure where I was going, she walked me to the nearest taxi pick up to make sure I was safe. As a 29-year-old solo female traveler, I felt so comforted Toni took the time to care for me. THANK YOU TONI YOU AMAZE ME GO OFF QUEEN 😍

Fabio was an excellent guide- knowledgeable and informative about the history of Testaccio and the food. I enjoyed the selection - the Bruschetta, Caprese and the Porchetta sandwich were outstanding, and the selection of cured meats pared with wine was very good. The only slight disappointment was that I was looking forward to starting with coffee and cake, and would have happily forgone some pasta instead. All in all it was a really fun experience.

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!

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.

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!
