A Must Foodie Tour with a Local
elviatinney, Nov 2023
I can’t say enough good things about this experience!!! Silvia was the best!! We had a very small group so we got a lot of personal time to ask questions. We also did the evening foodie tour and both are excellent but very different experiences. We loved and enjoyed both tours with Silvia. She is the BEST!!! She is a locale and full of great information.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear elviatinney, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic experience with Silvia on both our daytime and evening foodie tours. It's wonderful to know that her local insights and knowledge added to the enjoyment of your time. We appreciate your positive feedback and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for more delightful experiences in the future! Best regards, Sasha Walks and Devour Tours
Maritozzi, pasta and gelato in Testaccio
Karen_D, Sep 2023
Very well run with plenty of discussion around local food culture and history. The food was well chosen and plenty but not overwhelming. I loved the maritozzo at breakfast.
Yum yum yum

Our guide was great. He explain the history of culture, geography in relation to the different methods of food preparation. The food we sampled were so fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the Devour food tour. We really enjoyed it.
Educational and delicious!

We made the right choice in taking this tour. It provided history of Testaccio and history of the food that became of the public market. Manuela was excellent! We enjoyed her tour and the variety of the local food we tasted was different for our taste buds but still delicious!
Come hungry!!!

We were lucky enough to get Denys(Denise) not sure of spelling. But she was wonderful. She brought the neighborhood to life. COME HUNGRY. We ate so many delicious foods. One of the best things we did in Rome.
