"We had Federica for a private food tour and it was the best ever! We have been doing food tours throughout Italy and this was our first private food tour. Federica was amazing! Her knowledge was extensive of all the restaurants, street food, new food trends and where to go to try local favorites. We had wonderful conversations, listed to street performers and had a fun and food filled evening. She modified the tour as we casually mentioned favorite foods, in our case artichokes and expresso, and Federica quickly integrated our preferences. We now have a favorite new dessert! Our group agreed that this was the best food tour of our vacation and that is due entirely to Federica! Thank you!"
"One of the best experiences of our trip to Rome was truffle hunting with Federico and his dogs! Several things made this a real stand-out experience: 1)Federico is so engaging and so very fun. He provided fun and education! 2) After days of fabulous sightseeing in the city, it was refreshing to have a day in the countryside. 3) His dogs were so precious and fun - great for kids and adults! 4) the meal was great and 5) it was fabulous to engage over lunch with Federico and his father. His father is kind and smart and just overall delightful! DONT MISS THIS if you are looking for a unique, fun experience!"
"We had the best time with Francesca- she is so knowledgeable and she made history fun!
She has a fabulous way of storytelling and giving you information without it being boring or overwhelming. I highly suggest her guiding skills and loved spending time with her as she taught us about the Roman rule and the ruins of Rome."

"What a beautiful afternoon! Nicoletta and her family are warm and welcoming. Perfect way to escape downtown Rome while learning the unique history of Zagarolo and tasting delicious wines. Ended up shipping a case home. Highly recommend! "
"Claudia’s tour was amazing. Best part was that many of the delicious treats she introduced us to we would never have known about. Like fried artichokes, Rome cakes and rice rolls. We would recommend this to all and would even take it again if we are I. Rome. Plus, Claudia is an interesting, nice person."

Walking food tour with son
"Massimo was fantastic! He was great with my son, he is a natural teacher knowing how to make the walk engaging and fun for a ten year old (and adult). We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Rome’s history and food. Highly recommend to all!"
"Upon arriving in Rome, we had the pleasure of joining Claudia’s tour, and it quickly became a highlight of our trip. She welcomed us warmly and guided us through authentic local spots beloved by Romans. Along the way, we savored an array of incredible dishes—from perfectly baked pizza to tender artichokes—and, of course, some of the best gelato we’ve ever tasted.

A foodtastic time with Chiara in Roma.
"My wife and I had a foodtastic time with Chiara. She took us to many wonderful and local sites with great food, friendly owners and gave us a literal and figurative taste of the real Rome. She is also very knowledgeable about history and archeology and able to connect the food experiences to their origins and told interesting and amusing stories about Rome. We highly recommend Chiara. She is delightful. "

Manuela ..our favorite experience in Rome
"Spending time with Manuela was like being with a dear friend. Warm, fun , smart and full of knowledge . We wish we could have booked a second tour with her. We chose to tour Testaccio and the Testaccio market, it was a great choice. All of the vendors we visited greeted her with a big hug and treated us like friends. The food was amazing and authentic ( no chicken Alfredo on THIS tour😄) Towards the end of our time Manuela asked if we had any room left for one additional sample of Roman street food . She wanted to be sure we were satisfied and we were. She’s the best. "
