A bit disappointing food choices. 3 types of pasta and two types of pizza is overkill. The guide Marco, was pleasant and tried hard to please his guests. Even those that were difficult to please and couldn’t eat the food due to food allergies. Nice wine selection, the beer was only 2 oz cup.

Disappointed that very little Jewish history was discussed if any. We were in the neighborhood and sad to learn nothing. Was just a food tour. He pointed out some things in the non Jewish areas which were interesting but nothing specially about the history of the Jewish ghetto. Guide was difficult to understand heavy accent and spoke softly. We all had trouble hearing him and more difficult as were in a bustling area and needed a guide who could project his voice. He was nice and we felt safe but just an average food tour.

Excellent tour and on the advice from others on this site, we booked this tour on the day of our arrival which gave us insight into foods to try. Andrea and Matteo again excellent guides, engaging the group throughout the tour. Both guides are very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions from the group. Good variety of foods to try and quiet full at the end of the evening. Met three lovely American couples also which was a bonus.

Great food, interesting fellow tour members and a knowledgeable guide. A fun and tasty evening! We visited new areas of Rome I'd never seen before and tried foods I hadn't heard of (potato pizza anyone?). Would go on this tour in a heartbeat the next time I'm in Rome.
