Everything about this tour was FANTASTIC!!!! Please come hungry as you eat full size portions the entire time and it is so worth the price. Best true hidden food places in Italy. Not to mention how great of a guide Silvia is. She knew her stuff and had the best, relaxed, and fun persona!

The wine tasting and food pairing was so much fun and so informative. Our guide, Freya was terrific and the Essenza Wine Bar was great. It’s a sweet little wine bar in Trastevere.
This was a great way to end our time in Rome! We enjoyed the food and wine! Marta did a great job teaching us about the history, food and culture. The pacing of the courses was perfect! She was delightful and would highly recommend! We’ll definitely add food tours as a must do in future trips!
My daughter & I had the most lovely evening sharing the table with two couples. A fun evening in lively Trastevere! Tone was amazing and very engaging as she introduced us to the wines and produce - very educational and an excellent communicator! We really enjoyed and would highly recommend. Tone should have a career in media! 10/10
We really enjoyed your wine tasting experience and would say that Trastevere is definitely a place worth the visit when going to Rome ! Beautiful authentic experience. Freya was our guide and she was great, good energy, explaining the wine the food pairing and history! I really enjoyed the balsamic and the cheeses. We got a great size pour of wine as well, first time trying red wine for me and it was beautiful! And the gelato at the end of the tour was the cherry on top. I went with my family and we booked it as part of my dads birthday present, it was definitely a treat and would recommend for anyone visiting Trastevere! Thank you all🥰
Freya was a great guide! She explained everything extremely well! She was an excellent guide! I highly recommend!!
Vincenzo was the most amazing tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and made the experience delicious, funny, and informative. We had the best time and we owe it to him! Thank you Vincenzo!
We had an amazing time on this tour. Vincenzo was an awesome guide; he explained each dish, gave some backstory for each one, and he made sure we had a lot of fun throughout the tour
Vincenzo was a very knowledgeable and gracious guide throughout our tour. His personality and love for his cultural dishes and Italian wine makes him the perfect host for this tour!
Great guiding from Vincenzo, and an excellent selection of authentic experiences in Trastevere! After booking we were messaged to confirm the details, and the team were great about making adjustments for my pregnant wife, ensuring we felt safe about all the ingredients throughout. Good balance in volume of food and drink with the pace of the tour, with Vincenzo always making sure our glasses never remained empty for long. Stories and fun facts gave the whole tour an extra dimension, accompanying great food and drinks from the various restaurants and the final gelateria.
It was a great tour with LOTS of food and great wine. The restaurant we visited was nothing short of amazing and the tour guide was really informative and engaging. I can absolutely recommend this tour. Our guide was Vincento.
Vincenzo was fantastic! Great time!
The experience was so delightful and Vincenzo or “vinny” as we liked to call him did a superb job and exceeded our expectations. He was full of energy and delightful and knowledgeable about everything too. He did tell us he’s in the planning to open up his restaurant in 2028 which I hope to come back and experience it all. Please ask for Vincenzo for your guide!
Vivian vas outstanding as a host.
It was an amazing experience the food, the wine, the guide, the gelato. All exceeded my expectations 10/10 service… and honey… Tone! she needs her own TV show or something we need to get that woman on stage. She was a spectacular host!
It was one of the best food tours I've ever taken. It was amazing, and Tone was the best. She treated us with such kindness, unseen in other tours.
Vincenzo was amazing! Food at each stop was delicious. Plenty of food and wine. Vincenzo was the best and made the tour so enjoyable. Definitely book him.
Marta was a wonderful hostess and very knowledgeable. You can tell she loves her job. She made us feel like we were dining with friends, not strangers, who became friends by the end of the evening. Her knowledge of food pairings and wine was very insightful. We would highly recommend her and this tour to everyone.
Great tour of food, wine and history through Rome. Such a great experience and Carlita is as amazing as!
The food was delicious, the wine kept flowing, and the experience of trying different foods and learning about the food/wine and regions they came from was so enjoyable. Sylvia did an exceptional job sharing knowledge and making each person feel valued and included in the experience, even my younger daughter. This tour made us want to do a food tour every city we go to, even back home. I will do this tour again if I visit Rome again.
Vincenzo was a verry nice guy!
Our host made this a great experience. She was friendly, welcoming and knowledge.
This app made everything so easy and convenient. Booking tickets was simple, and all the important information was right there in one place. I also really appreciated that the tour guides could call and help direct you if needed, which made the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. It was perfect for traveling and gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend!
Our guide, Fran, was exceptional. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made this a tasting to remember. She also provided recommendations for restaurants and sights in the city
This was an extremely enjoyable and fascinating experience thanks to Silvial
Freya was a great tour guide and was good with allergies. The tour overall was great. The food was amazing especially the pasta and pizza hot pockets. Overall I really liked the food, experience, and the tour guide; Freya.
Tone was very knowledgeable and gave some great top tips about wine and food .
This tour was amazing! Vincenzo made the experience incredible with the information and passion for the food and wine of this country! The meetup spot was easy and the pace of the tour was perfect.
Great tour with great food. Marta was a great guide
Excellent time. Met some great people. Fran did an awesome job explaining the wines and the different foods we ate. Her personality is awesome and it was just a genuinely fun time.
A lot of fun! 2 yummy glasses of wine with delicious cheese.
Maria was fantastic guide. We really enjoyed her company.
Our tour was led by Tone, she was amazing. Such bubbly personality, fun outgoing and vere intelligent. The knowledge of the food and region was amazing. Great locations and so much food. Loved the tour
Tone was an amazing guide and make everything much better, we loved the activity, highly recommended for business groups or any kind of group really.
The tour with Tone was really funny and delightful! We really recommend her <3
A great set of four sites with everything from comfort food to white truffles and wines match. Freya was both knowledgeable and entertaining
Fiammetta is an amazing host. Super nice. Super informative and very welcoming to a point where all of the people apart of the tour became really good friends quick. Lots of laughs and good experiences. Highly Recommend 12/10.
One of the loveliest experiences! Marta was such a nice, well prepared, funny, and attentive to our needs guide 🩷. The food pairing was adapted to gluten & lactose free requests. Thank you, Marta, it was a pleasure!
Our food guide Leila was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining about the origin of the food. Highly recommend!
Fiammetta was fantastic and gave wonderful recommendations. Walked us to the best gelato! 🍦
Very informative and good fun. Fiammetta was amazing😀
Fantastic experience! Fiammetta was great. The food quality was far superior to any other tasting I’ve ever done. Highly recommend.
Marta was very knowledgable about all the food and all of the food we ate on the tour felt local and delicious. We enjoyed our evening doing the food tour.
An absolute highlight of our family trip in Rome! Vincenzo, our guide, was outstanding - knowledgeable, patient, engaging, funny…. Included everyone from the 75 year old patriarch to the 10 year old grandchild with equal respect. Stops were well chosen for interesting history and good food and wine. Great value and great fun!
Really enjoyable trip, learnt and enjoyed it all
Marta was a great host! We had fun learning about the food and wine including the history and origins of everything. Highly recommend!
Fran was a very sweet and knowledgeable guide. This is a shorter tour than some others, with very minimal walking (which was appreciated by my aching feet and back after a long day of walking throughout the city). The majority of the tour is held within a private room of a wine bar, where you taste a variety of foods and wines from throughout Italy. Then you walk to an excellent gelato shop to end the experience.
We attended a tour on the 12th February and had the pleasure of Marta being our guide. She is very knowledgeable about wines, we had a great experience. Brilliant drinks and food, however the stand out is the host, very kind and friendly, and great restaurant recommendations!
Done this tour, only 4 of us on it, me and my wife and a lovely American father and daughter. Lead by Vivien, she had an unbelievable amount of knowledge of all the wines and foods, she’s an absolute genius. Probably one of the best tours we’ve done, would highly recommend it.
Very good experience, tasting both delicious wine and food, presented by the passionate guide Vivien. Would definitely recommend!
