We LOVED this tour! You must do this with Francesca! She was so kind and accommodating. She even made a special stop just for us because we mentioned that we want to see a site. Come hungry; we did and could not finish it all. Being introduced to Roman culture through food by Francesca was not only interesting and fun but also appreciated. The best part was that it felt like we were just enjoying the afternoon with a good friend. Thank you, Francesca!A Great Way to begin a Roman holiday!

2 July 2025

Gabriele was amazing! He is very personable and makes you feel like you're friends almost instantly. We took a tour with him on the last day of our Italy trip and learned a lot in a very short time window. My wife and I brought our two boys and they were being very picky, grumpy and generally just wanted to go home. Gabriele was very patient with us and even modified the plans to keep the kids from completely melting down. We will be back! Fantastic Guide and Great Person!

Claudia does an amazing job of integrating culture, history and food. My 11 year old and 15 year old were both involved and ate everything! The food was great. The recommendations for future restaurants is extremely helpful. It’s difficult to come to a city and find good places to eat. Claudia solved that. Great!

(About local Romain)

24 June 2025

From start to finish, Romain gave us an incredible experience. He didn’t just guide us through delicious bites—he shared the rich history behind every street and dish, answering all our questions with patience and passion. What made it even more special was how flexible and personalized the tour felt. Whether it was tracking down a specific dish we were craving (hello, fried artichoke—so good!) or taking a break when we needed one, Romain made sure the day was exactly what we wanted. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and the conversations along the way were just as memorable as the food. If you're in Rome and want more than just a generic tour, Romain is your guy. Highly recommend!Unforgettable– History, Flavor, and Heart!

(About local Amandio)

14 June 2025

What I’ve learned through nearly 40 years of travel is that nothing beats seeing a new place through the eyes of a local. To that end, Amandio didn’t disappoint. My daughter and I were blown away by the authenticity and deep local feel of our time spent with Amandio. Every stop had a story, every shop had long, rich history and each food sampling was delicious. It was as if an old friend previously met abroad was showing us around his neighborhood for the first time. I’d recommend this tour and especially Amandio as a guide to any of my friends from around the world. An extraordinary experience

Neil🇬🇧 United Kingdom

(About local Gabriele)

9 June 2025

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from ‘The 10 Tastings of Rome’ in terms of hidden gems in city full of incredible cuisine; literally everywhere you turn in Rome there’s a stunning menus of delights and welcoming hospitality staff that can’t do enough for you - but what my wife and I experience during our 3 hours with Gabriele was exceptional! Now, we did have the good fortune of catching some moments to remember in the churches we visited en route, (we went on a Sunday afternoon) but for us it was a fabulous 3 hours exploring the nooks and crannies of Rome that would never show up on a more commercial tour. Fabulous flavours, immersed in historical anecdotes, all washed down with some ‘Meloncello’ (not sure that’s even a thing!) Enjoy the time with your host, expect a ‘flavour experience’ rather than a sit-down 10 course meal, but above all, enjoy the knowledge Gabriele shared to make the final day in Rome for us, very special indeed.It’s all about the host!

7 June 2025

Myself, my wife and our daughter thoroughly enjoyed our time with Vania who is a real Roman. We did the tour in the early evening and the amount of food that we tasted was more than enough for our usual evening meal. Vania steered us to foods and flavors that are uniquely Roman. The small establishments that she chose for us were a testament to the artisanal nature of their craft and also ones that she frequents with her family and friends. Vania finished our tour atop Janiculum Hill with a wonderful evening view of Rome - a fitting end to our first day in Rome.Real Food Tour With A Real Roman

The food tour with Paola was wonderful. The great variety of tastings of typical Roman food was amazing but she also provided lots of history and facts about Rome. Her love of the city certainly showed. Her experience and knowledge of the area we toured was amazing - we saw little courtyards, alleyways, architecture and ancient sites we never would have found on our own. Thank you Paola!Wonderful tour with Paola

She was kind, friendly, very knowledgeable, and overall just a how to spend the tour with. She also included some incredible history bits throughout the tour that added to the food portions. Our group was introduced to some of the most unique and authentic foods to Rome! I would recommend her every time!!!! Amazing food and tour experience

We loved our tour with Claudia. She taught us so much about the city and food culture here. In fact, she set us up for the rest of our days here. We have since tried and loved all her restaurant recommendations! She has also kept in touch via chat feature by answering our questions as we continue to navigate our days here in Rome.

Francesca was very knowledgeable and very polite. She took us around to local spots in Rome where we were able to taste a variety of foods. We even got to know her a little bit by exchanging some family stories, etc. It brought a nice human touch to the whole experience. I would recommend this tour for anyone new to Rome that wants to experience different flavors within the city!Great food tour!

Claudia was fantastic. The fact that she is a pastry chef meant she really knew food and gave us tips for do’s and don’t’s that have proven spot-on for our week in Rome. Kick start with Claudia showed us the very best local coffee, pizza, pastry, charcuterie and so much more. Her insight and explanation was particularly impressive and I guess comes from living and loving Rome all her life. The fact that she has had a completely different career and has travelled the world means she brought a unique perspective for us 3rd-time visitors. Thank you so much Claudia and grazie mille for an outstanding performance with an injured leg! 😳🤣Immersed in Rome from the get-go

Massimo gave us one of the best experiences of our entire trip to Rome. He took us to incredibly unique spots that we never would’ve found on our own—far from the typical tourist trail. Every tasting was something special and authentic, and we got to try so many different Roman foods that were totally new to us. On top of that, Massimo shared a wealth of fascinating history along the way that gave real depth to the places we visited and the food we ate. He’s passionate, knowledgeable, and so much fun. You must book with Massimo—he’s the best!10/10 Tasting Tour: Rome w/ Massimo

Our group of six people had a very nice introduction to some of the food culture of Rome. Claudia is a very knowledgeable and social guide, and apart from the food, she also enlightent us on Rome's fantastic history. The food selection was excellent (a little too much on the sweet side, for some) and plentiful, so no need for any lunch that day.. Thank you, Claudia!Wanderful springday in Rome

22 April 2025

My family and I had a great food tour with Gabriele. We tried lots of traditional Roman foods and got a glimpse of the local history in the old town area. We tried a lot of samples of snacks and did not leave hungry. He showed us the best porchetta I've ever had, and we returned the next day to taste more! He also left us with some excellent recommendations for the resto of our trip to Rome. I highly recommend this experience and Gabriele was a kind, easygoing, and flexible guide Fun food tour with Gabriele

(About local Massimo)

20 April 2025

We booked Massimo as our guide for a food tour through Rome’s historic center. We were a group of 3 adults and 2 children, ages 8 and 4. Massimo was an incredible guide, and our 3 hours with him were among the best and most memorable experiences of our entire trip. Massimo’s stories about the history of the area really brought the neighborhoods to life and gave us a deeper understanding and appreciation for streets we had walked on many times before. He kept the kids engaged the entire time as well. His guidance was incredibly valuable because some of the most authentic foods and locations are hidden amid tourist traps. We wished we could have spent more time with him. I would recommend his tour to anyone visiting Rome, no matter the ages of your group, it will 100% be worth it. Rome Food Tour

Nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a nuestro guía Amandio por brindarnos una experiencia inolvidable por las bohemias calles del Trastevere. Cada parada fue un deleite para los sentidos, no solo por la increíble gastronomía, sino también por las historias y anécdotas que compartió con nosotros con pasión, entusiasmo y humor. Amandio, nos hizo entender que esta ciudad no sólo tiene un pasado fascinante, sino que ha sido el origen de mucho de lo que atribuimos a otros. Todo comienza en Roma ;) Gracias por tu simpatía y por hacernos descubrir el auténtica alma romana!Trastevere de la mano de Amandio

We spent a long time with Sara, where she showed us all of the secret, non-tourist spots during our tasting tour. The best pizza, the best gelato, different styles of Italian cuisine... she not only knew where to go, but was quite often recognized by the owner of the establishment who was more than happy to give us special tastings of their dishes. The day we spent with her was unforgettable. We would recommend this experience, and ESPECIALLY Sara as your tour guide for anything in Rome. Thank you, Sara!!Sara knows all the best spots!
