Nice tour and very nice...

Bill_S, Oct 2023

Nice tour and very nice tour guide for espresso, gelato and tiramisu, but so overpriced for the experience.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you Bill, the price of an experience lays on many "ingredients" unfortunately , we are happy you liked the experience anyway

A Yummy Tour

Linda_B, Oct 2022

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.

Wonderful folding tour with Valeria

Abdelaziz_E, Oct 2021

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.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Julia_T, Feb 2020

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!

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Dear Julia, Thank you for your review! We always aim to deliver a great experience and we are happy when we reach the mark. Cheers

Our tour guide was phenomenal and in addition to the amazing food, she gave us great tidbits about the city. This tour was well worth it and I would highly recommend it!!!

nkmashouq, Jan 2018

Ilaria made this tour so memorable. We arrived late meeting up with her but caught her just in time. Her friendly spirit was so refreshing and you could tell she was very passionate about what she was talking about, a true foodie. She showed us the true essence of artisan espresso and I will never forgive her for it because I will never taste coffee as good as that. She took us to her favourite gelato and tiramisu joints. None were a disappointment! Such an amazing tour that I would be glad to do again shall I ever come back to Rome.

My friend and I throughly enjoyed...

Robyn C, Aug 2017

My friend and I throughly enjoyed this tour. All the places we visited were in reasonable proximity to each other. Our guide was very personable and she spoke excellent English. The Gelato and Tiramisu section were fabulous however the coffee section was not so great mostly because there was not much room, but we were pleasantly surprised by the espresso granita. The gelato tasting was great - I have a new appreciation for Pistachio flavour!

eileen_w, Apr 2017

This was a highlight of my trip! My guide Valeria was full of knowledge, and truly wanted me to understand and appreciate a few of the food treats of Rome. It was clear that she wanted to relay to me the importance of quality and what real Romans expect. Now I get it! And if you get the chance to visit Rome don't miss this wonderful experience. Grazie Valeria

Did not get to this tour in time. The time it took to get from the airport to check-in to the hotel and to the meeting place was not long enough and although disappointed in missing it.. it is something i will make the time to attend at another time.

gary s, Mar 2017

James is very passionate and knowledgeable. I appreciate his wit and humor as well. I will certainly recommend him to my friends.

Aaamazing Tour! Would recommend it...

Reynie A, Feb 2017

Aaamazing Tour! Would recommend it to any Coffee and Ice cream lover, just like my wife and I . It was a very small group with just the three of us plus Giorgia. She was great, she took us to two different cafe shops, two of the most famous ones in Rome, and two different gelato shops, where we got to sample five flavors before picking two in a cup or cone, and one famous tiramisu shop. It was a good walk, but worth it!!
