Miri is fabulous! We had the best time exploring Travastere. That porchetta stop and the ‘King’ can’t be missed. You get to go VIP pass to super fun places (Da Enzo in particular). It was my boy-friend’s first good tour ever and he was impressed with how much he learned along the way in addition to the excellent food & drink!

Valentina made our Eating Europe food tour truly unforgettable for me and my husband. From the moment we met her, she was warm, welcoming, and full of energy. Her passion for the local food and history was infectious—you could tell she genuinely loves what she does. She didn’t just guide us through the stops, she told stories, shared little-known facts, and made us feel like we were discovering the city with a local friend. Every bite tasted better thanks to the context she gave, and she made sure everyone felt included and taken care of. We both walked away with full stomachs and even fuller hearts. If you get the chance to take a tour with Valentina—do it. She’s a gem!

Our tour with Francesca was wonderful! She was delightful and charming and so fun to spend the evening with. We learned a lot about traditional Roman (don’t call it Italian!) dining. The places we visited were fantastic and I just wish I could have eaten more - it was all molto delicioso!
