What To Expect

Your experience starts with a walking tour past historical Rome landmarks such as the ancient Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain, where legend says you’ll return to Rome if you throw a coin in the water.

Then head to a restaurant for your workshop with a professional pizzaiolo (pizza maker), who shows you the secrets for creating Roman pizza. Use fresh ingredients during your lesson, which starts with making soft, flexible dough from scratch that you’ll stretch to be as thin as paper. Discover the proper pizza-making techniques as you prepare a flavorful sauce and decorate your pie with toppings before putting it in the traditional pizza oven to bake to perfection.

Could not contact guide/did not get to participate

Grayson_P, Sep 2023

Unfortunately we did not get to go on this tour. The guide was not at the meeting point at the time listed on our tour. We called the number listed for: “local guide for any questions or difficulties finding the meeting spot” many times and never got a response. We messaged Viator as well and got no response or help. This was the only tour out of all 11 days we took tours that we did not get to go on because we could not find the tour guide. And the only local number that did not answer when we called with questions. Do not waste your money for a company/guide that isn’t willing to help tourists.

Great guide

Nicolle_M, Jun 2023

Simone was a great guide! We enjoyed learning from him, especially the added tips about town and insider views on being Roman.

Fantastic Guide.

Jay_M, Jun 2023

Excellent walking tour and guide. However, event did not play out as described. It's billed as a tour that starts near the Spanish Steps and concludes in the same place. Due to an unforeseen emergency, on the tour side of the house, the Pizza making class was cancelled, however, a pasta making class was offered instead. Actually, that would have been fine, however, the walking tour concluded at Piazza Navona at 1640, with no further information about the 1830 pasta making class or its location. At this point, not wanting to interrupt what was a very nice afternoon we opted out of any additional confusion and the pasta making class. Having been to Rome many times, this event was booked as a surprise for family that was visiting for the first time. Fortunately, the guide was remarkable and my family was none the wiser about the confusion around the cooking class. We were able to enjoy a nice dinner, and easily found our way back to the Spanish Steps.

History and pizza - what could be better?

Rachael_G, Jul 2022

Sara was excellent as our tour guide! Very knowledgeable and kept us entertained along the way on a very hot day. Pizza making was super fun too. A unique tour not to miss!

Cancelled 15 minutes before departure time

Michael_B, Jul 2022

Cancelled 15 minutes prior the scheduled meeting time. I was already at the meeting point unfortunately

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hello Michael. I'm very sorry we had to cancel the tour , but the tour wasn't canceled 15 mins before. You booked the tour last minute and We sent you an email well in advanced and sent you a text message as well. If your cell phone service isn't good and you didn't receive the notification before ,I am very sorry but there is no way we canceled it 15 mins before the departure time . Thank you

NO SHOW OPERATOR

Heather_H, Aug 2021

This was our first day in Rome with our two teens and we showed up to the meeting location super excited, 30 minutes in advance. This tour was to be our "kickoff" after 12 hours of driving from Germany. After waiting 40 minutes (and a pricey cab ride to get there) we contacted the operator via phone. She explained that they sent an email asking if we could reschedule. Looking at the email, it was sent at 3:24 A.M.! Our tour was at 9:30 a.m. I asked the operator how many people they had scheduled on the tour. Her reply "only your family of 4". I am sure that you can get the gist of how this operator works: if they can send an email at 3:24 a.m., not hear back from their ONE scheduled client by mid-morning (my family) and knowingly have my phone number, but not follow up with a call or text to confirm that we have seen the middle of the night email, and furthermore, not show up to the designated meeting place- this says it all. We were really bummed about missing the pizza making, but instead we made the most of the moment. The four of us jumped on Lime Scooters and checked out the sites that we were supposed to see ourselves. We even ran into a hop on/off walking tour at the Pantheon that was well worth it! We finally did receive a full refund after listening to 20 minutes of excuses from the operator as to why they no-showed. Her prime excuse was the booking was less than 24 hours from the tour, which we booked the tour at 6p.m. the prior evening, so there was plenty of time to contact us if rescheduling/cancellation was necessary.

Great walking tour

Pizza making

Eszter_S, Jan 2020

Thanks to our tour gide Sara, we had a great time exploring the center of Rome and could get a deeper knowledge about the historical structures and buildings. I can say that this cooking experience was the apex of our short journey in Rome. I would suggest this activity to everyone!

Perfect Intro to Rome for First Timers

StephanieLucia_K, Jun 2019

Perfect first thing to do with 2 teenaged boys for their first time to Rome. Not too long winded and detailed and not a long walking tour (about 90 minutes), then you hang out and have some pizza at a pretty legit pizzeria / trattoria (not someplace mediocre they pawn off on tourists because you don't know any better). Sara was our guide and she was delightful and knowledgeable, and a genuinely interesting person to talk to over pizza. If it's your first time to Rome and you are still struggling to recover from jet lag, this is a good place to start.

Our kids loved making pizza with the Italian Chef!

EMILY_E, Mar 2019

Our guide was great. She showed us around town as we walked to the restaurant and shared fun facts with us. Our kids, 9 and 10, were anxious to get to the restaurant to make pizza but she was able to keep their attention. The pizza making was our favorite part! And, it was delicious.

Outstanding Guided Tour of Rome!

Kristine_C, Jan 2019

I can not recommend this tour enough! My husband and I were able to see Rome in a completely different light. Our OUTSTANDING guide Nina was not only knowledgeable, but she was engaging, friendly, and really knew her history. Even without the pizza making class at the end the tour was more than worth it! The pizza class made this tour just that much more unique and amazing! This was by far worth every Euro! If you are looking for something truly one-of-a-kind then you should definitely book this tour!

Great intro to the city!

Navigate36550362265, Jan 2019

Our guide Nina was so well informed and made the tour engaging and interesting for oour kids (age 11and 9). Pizza-making was a perfect way to end the experience.

BEST walking tour in Rome

Cheryl_H, Jan 2019

Nina, our guide, made this outstanding. Great information about sites we were walking around. Nina gave us,enough time to enjoy what we,were looking at. We ended switching to a pasta class and we can't rave enough about Nina and Chef M (can't get his name right). The fun, Chef speaking and showing us,what to do in Italian and Nina keeping right with him, translating all into English! Best time, thanks so much to Nina, we absolutely loved it!

This was a good tour, and the guide...

Amy K, Aug 2018

This was a good tour, and the guide was great, but for our tour, the pizza class was mixed in with the pasta class. They do both at the same restaurant, and the classes happen at different times. The pizza class was much quicker than the pasta class, so we had a lot of time just sitting around. It was still a good experience, but just be aware you may have some downtime you weren't expecting.

Daniel_H, Jun 2018

A great way to learn about Rome, see the sites, and learn about the Rome pizza! Would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family!

It was really unforgettable experience...

It was really unforgettable experience. Highly recommended

This tour is really great if you...

Michelle, Oct 2017

This tour is really great if you arent staying in Rome long. We only had one full day in Rome and this tour allowed us to see so many things that would have taken us forever to find on our own. I would caution anyone taking this tour on a Sunday as we did because several sites were closed or had a church service in progress however our guide Chris worked hard to find other options for us to see if something was closed. Our tour was small 6 which was really nice and we all got to know each other. If youre someone who wants to spend hours at the Spanish Steps or Trevi Fountain this tour is not for you. Each stop is very brief for pictures and to take in the moment. This was perfect for us because we have no desire to stay in one place for a long time. If more time was desired though, Chris accommodated that. Pizza making was super fun and delicious!!!!

I have 2 complaints. First we...

Sheila2580, Aug 2017

I have 2 complaints. First we couldn't understand the tour guides accent. They should have a native English speaker. Second, they didn't show us how to make the dough. We learned to roll it. They should at least model how to make dough. I also agree that the guide asks us too many questions.

This was the first thing we did when...

amyolson19, Jul 2017

This was the first thing we did when we got to Rome and it gave us an introductions to several key landmarks. Chris, our guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. Making pizza at the restaurant Origano was a lot of fun and delicious - the tiramisu they gave us was the best we had ever had!!
