Smit did an amazing job showing us the neighborhood around and every place had a unique style. Smit was helpful, fun, and charismatic.
Our guide, Anna, was adorable and well informed offering tons of great insight into the Roma food culture. We always book a food tour on our first day of travel because it teaches us so much about the new culture we’re exploring and this one was great! Seamlessly planned and executed experience. Would highly recommend!
Had an excellent time! Tried pizza, gelato, pasta, meat & cheeses! Everything was super delicious and super filling! The neighborhood was also very cute and lively! The tour guide Camila was lovely, friendly & very informative!
If you want a taste of Rome, a lovely evening walk and some lovely conversation with lovely people (no guarantees but it’s a decent probability) then book this tour. There is great pizza, prosciutto, pasta, veal, beer, wine, and limoncello (limoncello if you’re good), then book this tour.
Anna was absolutely amazing and offered such a great perspective, I highly recommend her! 🌟🙌✨ #recommendation #professionalism #feedback
Food tour was wonderful. We had amazing food at every spot. Tracey was a great guide. Very knowledgable!
We had such a good time on this Trastevere food tour! It gave us a good understanding of the neighborhood, Roman cuisine, and everything was delicious. Our guide, Anna, was so fun! You could tell she really knew the neighborhood and ate at these spots in her personal time too. Everything was close together too, very walkable. Highly recommend!
He’s the best of all!! Very patient and friendly guy . He’s very knowledgeable about food culture of Italy
Smit was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! Learn so much about Italy. It’s cuisine and had a great time doing it. Would highly recommend.!!!
Karina was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and incredibly charismatic. We’ll do this again just because of her!
Worth the money! Great food, awesome tour guide and lots of information shared! Really got to know the local places for the best food and wine. Kept you out of the tourist traps of Rome.
Her energy, vibe, and knowledge made the whole experience so special. She made us feel completely relaxed, never rushed, and honestly, it felt like we were exploring Rome with a friend rather than being on a tour. We learned so much, enjoyed delicious food, and had such a great time with her. If you’re visiting Rome, I highly recommend booking a tour with Dominika! 🇮🇹✨
Camila was amazing! She was very knowledgeable in the area and culture of both the neighborhood and the food. She interacted really well with entire group and created a friendly environment for the experience. Highly recommend her.
Tracy was amazing and the tour was great. Amazing food
We had Tracey as our tour guide, she was amazing and explained everything so well
Very good guide with good knowledge who was very friendly
Don’t eat before the tour — you will get SO much food. Karina was friendly, informative, gave us a sense of what it’s like to live in Rome. I feel more confident about what to order, what to look for.
Small group (~14) led by Domenica from Carpe Diem. Five stops at well established Teastevere restaurants/cafes that included: (1) wine, cheese, and proschetto, (2) arancini, (3) three types of pizza with plenty of beer, (4) a sit down dinner consisting of bruschetta, pasta with tomato sauce, and plenty of wine, and (5) gelato. Dominica was very knowledgeable and the group bonded quickly. Like sharing a progressive meal with friends. We will remember the experience as a highlight of this trip.
If you’re doing a food tour in Rome, this is the one to book. Our guide Maham was absolute perfection—brilliant knowledge of Trastevere/Roman culture and history, paired with a lively personality and a great sense of humor. Wandering through Trastevere with her felt like exploring the neighborhood with an insider friend! We ended up being a group of only the 4 of us in our little group. She was fun and charismatic. My husband and I have traveled a bit and have enjoyed many guided tours. This by far was our favorite.
Great tour with lots of delicious food and knowledge of the area and dishes! Would recommend when visiting Rome!
We just spent 15 days in Italy and booked a food tour in Rome and one in Venice. The difference was night and day. Our tour guide in Rome was on her own a an agenda and did not have much of a background to run a tour. She was young and from Argentina . Our guide in Venice (Elizabeth) was amazing.
It was better than I expected. The tour guide was very informative and explaining nd everything the way it should be. The stops were great as well
Best food tour ever. We have taken many food tours, but this was the best. Our guide, Dominique, was fantastic. She provided great information about the area and each stop. The food was outstanding. We had a great time eating, laughing and just having a great time.
We had the most unbelievable time with Camilla! She was the perfect guide through Travestere. She was knowledgeable, friendly & fun and had such good relationships with the owners and staff at all of our stops. Highly recommend!!
Ana was very knowledgeable and personable. My husband and I left very full! We had roughly 5 appetizers, 2 slices of pizza, 1 pasta, 2 glasses of wine, and dessert. It was a great tour. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic tour with Tracy! Lots of good eats and wine, finished with a fresh gelato and met some lovely people in our group ❤️ ps come hungry!!
It was very good with a variety of food and wines. Guide was very friendly and amusing. Would recommend to go with friends or family, great activity
Our guide Anna was wonderful. Would highly recommend this experience. We got to try several fantastic local foods and locations while learning about the history.

When in Rome, a visit to Trastevere is a must. Our guide took us to some amazing food stops with skip the line seating and the history behind these Roman dishes.
Sila was so awesome! She was so very knowledgeable and friendly! She made the whole experience a night we won’t forget and will talk about for years! The food and drinks were spectacular and we all appreciated how passionate she is about the food and gave the most wonderful history behind the food and places we visited! Please do this tour and ask for Sila T. She is the best and you won’t want to miss it!
