Customer Reviews
Irene was one of the best tour guides. I recommend this event while in Rome. She taught us so much about the food, wine and culture of Rome. I enjoyed her energy and love of this beautiful city she lives in.
The tour was well organized from start to finish with good food, wine and stories. The family owned restaurant pasta was the highlight we felt like we were invited to a Roman home. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Rome!!
