Wonderful Food Tour of Rome

My family did a food tour of Rome with Claudia and we thoroughly enjoyed it! It was a great introduction to Rome, and we meandered through the streets of Rome and tasted the most delicious local food and drinks, including delicious Roman pizza, Supplì - a well known fried Roman street food made from rice and mozarella, the best coffee we've ever had in our lives, creamy Maritozzo buns, porchetta, and the most delicious antipasto and cheeses. We were definitely full and very contented by the end of it! Claudia was friendly, informative, and she works in the food industry, so she was the perfect guide. She was kind enough to recommend other food places to try in Rome and other cities we were visiting on our trip. Claudia's tour also included some history of Rome, including a walk past the ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina where Julius Caesar was assassinated, Piazza Navona and a quick visit of the magnificent Sant'Agnese in Agone Church - truly magnificent. We loved our time with Claudia and definitely recommend this tour to others!

Beautiful Photos & a Memorable Experience

I did a photo session with Matteo and my two-year-old, and it was a lovely experience. Matteo was kind, patient, and engaging with both of us, which made the shoot feel relaxed and enjoyable from the start. He helped us feel at ease in front of the camera, and I especially appreciated the way he connected with my daughter throughout. While I think the session might have benefited from staying in one neighborhood to make transitions smoother—especially with a toddler—I still came away with a set of truly beautiful photos that I’ll cherish. Matteo has a great eye and captured both candid and posed moments that feel natural and full of warmth. Highly recommend Mateo if you're looking for a photographer who is thoughtful, easy to work with, and delivers gorgeous images.

Great experience!

We absolutely loved spending time with Federica on our first night in Rome. She is charming and very knowledgeable about the local food and beverage scene. We got to see a side of the city we would not have gone to otherwise and got to immerse ourselves in the vibe.

Excellent local guide

Federica was a great host, local spots that you would not know about with fabulous food. Warm and welcoming. Can’t recommend enough.
