“Excellent experience largely due to our guide: Daniel. He was not only knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic about the food but as a local Roman, the city and history itself. He was fantastic with my young children, remembered everyone’s names and really made the tour enjoyable. You can find fantastic food all over Rome but following a local who knows so much about the history of the food and city itself will be very memorable. Daniel was by far the best guide we’ve experienced in Rome. I would be happy to join him on any tour.”

I think the food was representative of Genoa street food, but it was a lot of bread and we would have liked more protein ( beef, pork, chicken) tho the chickpea Farinata was good. It just came after the focaccia that we wolfed down.”
