Food tour recommendation for Rome

We booked with Eating Europe for the Rome tour entitled Twilight Trastevere food tour. This tour was highly recommended to us by a friend who took the tour earlier this year.

I agree That Eating Europe tours are wonderful. I took and enjoyed the Twilight Trastevere tour but my fav was the Testaccio tour. Either would be a good option.

We generally hate tours even the ones that come highly recommended. Our experiences are seldom good and now we studiously avoid them. However, based upon Forum recommendations, in May, we did the Trastevere Twilight tour and loved it. Our group was small but diverse. We had a lot of different food and drink experiences that were nicely timed.. The guide was a native English speaker and funny! I would definitely do it again which is the highest praise I can offer.

Eating Italy's Testaccio tour was so good I've done it twice, once with friends, and again with my family.

Just got back from Best of Europe 14 days and used Get Your Guide for several food tours. The tour in Rome was probably my favorite, "Rome: Street Food Tour with Local Guide." It was about 2.5 hours, a fairly small group (maybe 10-12 people if I remember right). We met at an outdoor market, sampled truffles, bruschetta, vinegar, then walked to a deli where we sampled meat, cheese, olives. We tried suppli, rice balls with cheese and tomato sauce. We walked through the Jewish quarter, where we sampled fried artichokes and then ended the tour with gelato. The tour was also a walking tour and our guide was wonderful, giving us a lot of historical information.

I also did tours through this app in Venice - a boat tour on a private water taxi to Murano and Burano to tour a glass factory and lace shop, and a Cicchetti/wine tour. The Cicchetti tour wasn't quite as good as the Rome tour, but it was still fun. The Murano and Burn tour was really fun, and the guide was also wonderful. I signed up for a pastry tour in Paris, but it had apparently been cancelled. The tour guides communicated well, usually through WhatsApp, and I felt I got a lot for my money.

Did Eating Europe Travestere Twilight Tour twice. It’s wonderful, just remember not to eat much that day, seriously.

My teenage sons and I did eating europe's testaccio tour in June and loved it so much we ended up doing 4 subsequent food tours during our 3 week trip! Got us to a part of the city we never would have visited; we ate a wide range of foods and learned alot about their production. Charming guide and extremely well run. Definitely worth the time

We did a wonderful food tour of Trastevere with Sophie Minchilli. HIghly recommend,

Like Ruth, I also enjoyed the Testaccio food tour. It's a neighborhood I had never visited - didn't seem like a lot of tourists were there. Besides all the great food we tried, our guide covered the neighborhood sites, as well. We visited the historic slaughterhouse (Mattatoio) - I believe it employed upwards of 5,000 people at its greatest capacity. A small part of the slaughterhouse is open to the public (outside only), and another small part is now a music school; Monte Testaccio (a man-made hill made from amphorae discarded there over the centuries) - a really nice restaurant, which we visited for the tour, is embedded into the hill; and the cemetery for non-catholics (also called the Protestant cemetery) - both Keats and Shelley are buried there - and a fully intact pyramid (Pyramid of Cestius) is part of the wall that marks boundary on that edge of the city. All fascinating, and not what I was expecting from a food tour.

The neighborhood was an easy 15-20 minute walk from my hotel near Campo de' Fiori.

**editing to add that the walk was probably closer to 25 -30 minutes.
