Giulia was an amazing guide and brought us to the best places for coffee and gelato.
Eleanor was the best! She took us to some amazing places and introduced us to things we never would have discovered on our own. Everything was absolutely delicious! The tour was so much fun, and Eleanor’s fun personality and extensive knowledge added such a special touch to the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Highly recommend! 🇮🇹❤️
Elle was awesome. Very personal and knowledgeable. Thank you!!
Clelia was great and had a wonderful selection for us to try!
Our guide, Ben was amazing! She was engaging, personable and so knowledgeable. The food was amazing and we enjoyed learning the history behind the places we visited and the treats we were sampling. Our entire family, including our teenager, loved the tour, I highly recommend it and if you get Ben as your guide you’ve struck gold!
Great tour with Julia, absolutely recommend! She was very nice and gave a good overview of the local moka/coffee, gelato, tiramisu, and espresso spots around the Pantheon. If you love those, you will love this tour (just make sure you're ready to get caffeinated)! Thank you!
The coffee, gelato and tiramisu was amazing as was our tour guide, Julia. I’d highly recommend booking with her as she shared a lot of local knowledge and history
Giulia helped us a lot. She took us to the best spots for coffee and gelato.
I had a wonderful time. Clelia was an AMAZING guide. So much delicious espresso and I tried gelato for the first time. She also shared some knowledge about the Roman landmarks as we walked around.
Natalia was wonderful! The tour was a perfect mix of friendly conversation, Roman history, and of course, the best espresso and gelato that we never would have found on our own. Natalia made such a conscious effort to authentically and personally connect with us! We will recommend this tour and tour company to any family and friends planning a trip to Rome.
Julia is an amazing host who really knows the city and the coffee and gelato we sampled. I would highly recommend this route to get acquainted with the local hotspots.
Julia was wonderful! So sweet, knowledgeable and fun to walk with. Gave a great tour.
Julia was a fantastic tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions!!
Our guide Clelia was so great! We ended up being the only people on the tour so it felt more personal. Clelia was our favorite guide for all the tours we did!
So much fun! Got to try several types of espresso, tiramisu and gelato were 5 stars! Excellent tour guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable. It was our first day and she put us at ease in a new city.
Andi really made this tour so fun and informative. I highly recommend the tour!
Clelia was so fun and kind. The best afternoon pick me up x 5. This tour will wake you up!
We met our tour guide Giulia at Piazza della Minerva along with another lovely couple, and after brief introductions and a quick run down of the tour, we began our adventure. Giulia was kind, knowledgeable, and very passionate about the espresso, gelato and various other treats were able to partake in. She was able to answer any all questions we might have had and due to her close relationships with the businesses we visited, we were able to skip the long lines and were served immediately. The tour took about an hour and a half, and it was an easy walk. I highly recommend this tour and Giulia as a guide, She truly made this tour and visit to Rome special!
Giulia was Fantastico! Would highly recommend!
Silvia was so friendly and full of knowledge about the history of the area and coffee/desserts!
We had a great time celebrating my Dad‘s birthday. With Silvia it was just like walking around with a local friend. :-)
The tour was fantastic, we tried great coffee, gelato, tiramisu accompanied by historical and cultural storytelling by wonderful Silvia.
Guilia was a great tour guide, loved it!
Lily was a fantastic guide. She was super knowledgeable and willing to answer all of our questions, including items not related to the tour. We were lucky enough to have the tour just be me and my 16 year old daughter. We tried delicious coffee and treats and will definitely be going back to the places Lily introduced us to. She even had restaurant recommendations based on activities we have planned for the rest of our trip. Lily was great and we’d highly recommend this tour. We did it late afternoon. I might recommend earlier in the day. It was a lot of espresso!
This was a very fun, easy and informative tour of some Italian faves! My three kids of various ages loved it. Our tour guide Cleria was fantastic and very good with the kids, with a perfect temperament and a lot of good information to share. Even on a rainy day it was one of the highlights of our trip.
Lilly was AMAZING! She was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. It was myself and my 10 year old and she was able to customize the experience so that my daughter could enjoy everything. We tasted amazing coffee treats, the BEST gelato, the BEST tiramisu and more. If you come hungry you will not leave disappointed. Easy 5 stars from me and my 10 yo.
Benendetta was extremely knowledgeable and friendly it made our experience the highlight of our Roma vacation. The choices for each stop where all exceptional
We ended having a private tour and we LOVE LOVE Julia! She was fun and we enjoyed ALL the stops. Definitely recommend.
Lisa was an amazing tour guide. We were lucky in that it was just my wife and I but our guide did such a good job explaining everything. She was not just knowledgeable of coffee and gelato but also the history of Rome. Such a good experience and I would suggest this to anyone who loves coffee and gelato
Chose to do this tour on our first afternoon in Rome hoping the espresso would keep us going 😉! We ended up having a private tour with just my daughter and me! Our tour guide Fede was amazing! She was fun, energetic, engaging, and shared many details about espresso and how to hunt out natural gelato! By the end, she felt like a friend and I was sad she couldn’t just hang out with us! What a wonderful introduction to Rome and its people! Thank you, Fede!
This tour was one of the best we did while in Italy! Federica and Andy were so fun and informative. We ended up having a private tour because no one else booked so we could ask all the questions we wanted and just hang out and have fun. The espresso was fantastic as well as the gelato, granita and tiramisu. The great quality coffee made all the difference! Would highly recommend this excursion!
We had a wonderful tour with Benni S!!!!❤️❤️ The food was delicious and she was so knowledgeable !!!!!!!🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
This was a great way to see some of Rome, taste some great food, and learn how to spot “real” gelato for the rest of our trip. Our guide was excellent and really engaged with our kids. This is an especially great activity for the start of a trip to Rome.
Massive thanks to Federica! She made our yummy tour even more buono and very interesting. We enjoyed the inside facts and tips we received and the proper generous portions of various coffees, Gelato & Tiramisu.
Loved the tour and our guide was amazing. No one else booked so it was just us & he made sure to go into detail on all the places we visited!
My wife and I wanted to try different styles of Roman coffee, and this tour left us absolutely satisfied. First, we visited Günther gelato, a cozy gelateria - try the pine flavour! Next, we enjoyed an espresso (just called caffé in Italian), a caffè granita and, last but not least, another espresso made with a typical Italian percolator (called a moka). The tour finished with a choice between classical, pistacchio, strawberry, peanut or caramel tiramisu. Luca, our guide, was friendly, very knowledgeable and dedicated to answer all our questions. And as a local food guide, he was allowed to skip the line, so no unnecessary waiting! We wholeheartedly recommend the tour for all coffee enjoyers.
Very memorable food tour! Lily our guide was knowledgeable and so friendly. All of the espressos, gelato and tiramisu was fabulous!! Highly recommend this food tour while in Rome!
Tasty Treats, knowledgable and entertaining guide. walking tour pace was good. Good language skills.
Giulia was great! She took us to several different locations and explained the differences and basics of Italian coffee culture. She answered all our questions and was a great tour guide!
Nice tour and very nice tour guide for espresso, gelato and tiramisu, but so overpriced for the experience.
Overall we really enjoyed the tour. It was a nice break from more intense sightseeing in the hot sun. Walking was easy and the desserts were tasty. Never had granita before and really liked it. Tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to chat with. Company was very nice to deal with when making our reservations and they accommodated a few special food restrictions with no problems. Would have liked some “behind the scenes” access to be included as part of the tour.
I am not a coffee drinker but had the greatest frozen coffee with whipped cream. The gelato was the best. Tiramisu was SOoo good. The tour guide was entertaining and well informed.
What better way to push through jetlag than with an espresso tour?! The espresso and food were delicious and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about not only the tasting experience, but in offering us helpful tidbits about the city. She taught us how to order espresso (a process I didn't realize would be so different from the U.S.!); that there were 2500 fountains all around Rome that offered free, clean drinking water; and relayed interesting cultural backstory about the statues and piazzas we passed. This guidance helped make our experience throughout the week so much smoother and more pleasant than it would have been. We ended up getting to try espresso prepared three different ways, two kinds of gelato, and a tiramisu. Our guide was so accommodating: The tiramisu place had sold out of it by the time we got there and she quickly ordered us tiramisu-espresso (bonus!) and booked us at another shop that made excellent tiramisu as well. Friendly, exciting, tasty way to start the week!
Had such a fantastic tour with Daniela! Super knowledgeable and fun! If you love coffee and dessert, this tour is for you!
We loved this fooding with Valeria. We were very lucky because the tour only involved the two of 3 (+ our tour guide obviously). We had very good and complete explanations (in perfect englishl)on how to spot high-quality caffés, gelati and tiramisù. Oh, and it was very delicious! Our piece of advice: don’t eat too much before the tour. Thanks again, we definitely recommend it.
Totally enjoyed the tour and the information relating to Rome. The granita was awesome, gelato one of the best we had and the tiramisu was great. The gelato information was helpful in knowing what to look for when we bought it after the tour. The guide was very nice and informative.
my family and I absolutely loved this tour. Our tour guide was amazing, she was very knowledgeable about the areas we walked through as well as the desserts and coffee. She was personable as could be! My three daughters were loving every second of this tour! Everything we ate and drank was delicious! We even went back to the cafes the next day! This is a must do!
Lisa did a great job of showing us the local places & a day in the life of a Roman. She very personalized just for our family.
We were lucky enough to have Clelia for this tour who was so kind and informative. She made the tour as best as it could be. We had plenty of food and learnt a lot about the places we came across. Thank you for our fabulous afternoon in Rome!
