Massimiliano, our tour guide, was brilliant. He's approachable and knowledgeable. We had a great time stopping at the coffee shop and trying suppli. The salumeria's tasting was also excellent. If you go to Rome, I advise going with this tour so you can get to know the food, culture, and neighborhoods faster and then return to these shops later in your trip.

In early December, we went on a food tour of Rome. Massimiliano was our tour guide. He was fantastic. He was well-versed in all aspects of Italian cuisine. He had such an appealing and caring personality that he made our experience in Rome one of the highlights of our trip. His recommendations for where to sample Roman cuisine were first-rate. Don't wait to book this tour.

The food tour in Rome with Massimiliano was fantastic. We indulged in pizza, pasta, charcuterie, cannoli (the best we have ever had), suppli and topped it all off with gelato! It was enough food to last for hours. While the food was great, the tour was even better. Massimiliano was energetic and entertaining. He taught us not only about the history and culture of the food but also about the locations we visited. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made the trip entertaining which was excellent for the adolescents. Another gorgeous day in Rome was spent in a wonderful way thanks to it!

A really awesome tour, a splendid introduction to Roman food and drink, and a few outstanding spots off the beaten track. Our guide Massimiliano answered all of our questions and gave a really good tour. Actually had the first glass of Red wine that I truly enjoyed. 10/10

This tour set our Rome meals up for success! Robbie was our guide, and he took us to a number of great restaurants. After the tour, he emailed other restaurant suggestions around popular Rome attractions, and we ended up using that list exclusively. That list produced two of my top recommendations when visiting Rome, and a third location must be a hit since we passed by Joseph Bastianich from MasterChef eating there! Robbie did an outstanding job telling us about the restaurants we visited as well as the areas we were passing through. He made our group feel more connected and like a group of friends simply because he was easy to talk to. I can't say enough good things about him! We did this tour on our first day in Rome, and it definitely was the right decision so that we knew how to orient ourselves food wise.

We were excited to take the Rome Sunday Food Tour, particularly after taking the Trastevere tour the night before. We were thrilled when we turned up at the meeting point and saw our same guide — Rocio! Same guide, different locations! Rocio once again picked remarkable spots, and we had a great time wandering and eating our way around the city. The food was absolutely incredible, and Rocio is knowledgeable and FUN! We highly recommend this tour! I appreciate you having me, Rocio! Can't wait to see you again!

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He provided excellent food and beverage options in a variety of places. Did an excellent job of explaining the history as well as the preparation of the various foods we sampled. He even went out of his way to buy a slice of cake with a candle for someone in our group who was celebrating a birthday. Service that surpassed expectations.

A perfect way to sample authentic Italian cuisine. Our guide Massimo took us to the small hole-in-the-wall places that tourists might not go. He also explains the history of the food as well as the owners of the establishments. It was an unusual way to sample Roman cuisine. I tried foods I'd never had before. And the fact that I don't drink alcohol didn't ruin my experience. The guide suggested some unusual Italian non-alcoholic drinks that I had never tried before. I strongly recommend it!

My 15-year-old son and I absolutely loved our tour with Federico. It was a small group of nice people, and our guide took us to some well-hidden places with excellent food. After that, we were all stuffed. My favorite was a small restaurant where a small and elderly nonna cooked. I wasn't expecting a family-run establishment in such a large city. Everything tasted great, and my son, whom I dragged along, thoroughly enjoyed himself. Thank you very much, Federico!
