Customer Reviews
This tour was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. From the first stop to the last stop, we were excited to learn about foods in Rome. Our tour guide., Rish, was a local from the Trastevere neighborhood. Every place we went into he was welcomed, and we were welcomed in as valued customers. It was fun to learn about the foods that we’ve been eating for years and being introduced to some new foods too. The only disappointment was that the tour description said it would end near the pantheon. It did not. We ended up having to pay €15 to get a cab back to the hotel.
Thank you Fabio for a wonderful evening full of good food , drink and history!!!
Our tour guide Rish was amazing!!! We've done several food tours and this was our best, most comprehensive food tour experience to date. Touring in the golf cart allowed us to see much more of the city, and made the tour more comfortable for our older parents. We enjoyed visiting so many interesting city sites, and learning a lot of history along the way - about more than just food! Rish makes the experience fun and is excellent at narrating throughout the whole tour. A visit to the local market was a highlight, but we received delicious food and drink at every stop. Don't hesitate, book this tour!
Fabio was an outstanding guide for our golf cart food tour. He was engaging, fun and incredibly knowledgeable. As a teacher, he has a fantastic way of explaining things and made learning things about food, customs and local culture both interesting and easy to understand. We left not only feeling like we had eaten amazing food ( including the best tiramisu we ever had) but also learned about the city. Highly recommend touring with Fabio!
