We had an excellent walking food tour with Annamaria. She was very pleasant as well as being informative on the city of Rome and its culture.
The food was excellent and we would highly recommend the experience. Thank You.
Disappointing food tour

The tour included only 4 stops. The 1st stop deli was fabulous. Next stop pizzeria included small glass of beer nothing special. The 3rd restaurant was pasta & wine was nice. Last stop for gelato was delicious. Minimal history of area provided. No bakery or fried artichokes
Not the best

Sent the wrong location to meet which meant we had to keep contacting to find out where. We were text to meet at the fountain when there are a large number of fountains in rome. Food was nice but drinks on the small side. 2 glasses of wine and 2 large beers shared between 7 of us for the 3 hours. Not much information from tour guide. Not worth the money.

The Best Food Experience in Rome
Joanne_S, Oct 2019
This tour is well worth your time and money!! On a recent trip to Rome, my friends and I decided to try this walking food tour to taste Rome’s local cuisine. It was the best tour of our trip. Our wonderful culinary guide, Linda, toured us through the streets of Rome eating and drinking at local shops, wine bars and restaurants while she regaled us with stories and pointed out cool venues of interest. Definitely don’t eat before this tour!! Fabulous.
