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!

Worth every penny! Catherine was amazing! She was fun and encouraging and it was so cool to stop at a shop before to meet the owners and purchase the cheese we used for our ravioli. I went with friends and it was such a memorable experience. Our pasta was delicious!

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.

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!

Valeria was fantastic! perfect amount of talking, information and history sharing, and not too much walking. Truly suitable for any age, any fitness level. All the food was fantastic and gaining access to
restaurants before opening or taking exclusive tours to areas not normally permitted to guests was really cool. You're left genuinely satisfied, not hungry or too full. All around an amazing experience and I would honestly recommend it to anyone!
