I'll second Eating Europe--we did the Testacchio tour back in August and it was great.

Another vote for Eating Europe's Trastevere tour!

I don’t think you can go wrong with either tour listed above. We also did the Testaccio tour and loved it, though Trastevere came highly recommended also.

Thank you all. I will look into these!

Princess Pupule - thanks for those additional sites. They hadn’t come up during my searches, although I know you mentioned them in several threads. I looked them up last night and it looks like there are some fun options with a little more flexibility. I had already looked at options with Through Eternity, EatingEurope and Streaty Food tours, but these additional options gave me some that would fit our time better. Which ones have you tried so far?

We have done the Through Eternity Pizza & Gelato tour. Other than getting lost trying to find the meeting spot, it was a great tour. There were only 2 of us on the tour but the guide was very attentive and we had a great time even though it was pouring rain. We visited spots that were tucked away (hint: grab a business card or take a picture of the name of the places you eat) and definitely not tourist spots. There was so much food that was our meal for the rest of the day.

Yikes Aimee — that would not make me happy !! I am sorry you had a subpar experience. For that kind of money, they should deliver what they promise !!

I was also not super impressed by the Eating Europe tour I did in Rome. I had already been in Italy for a couple of weeks so that might have been part of it - i had already eaten a lot of the food that was served on the tour. In somewhere like China, I would definitely recommend a food tour, but in Italy, I feel like it’s not really needed 🤷‍♀️

Aimee- I would be sure to make Eating Europe aware of how that guide treated you

I'd agree that feedback to the company would be a good idea.

Aimee you were being pushed behind his personal business and that isn't right. What does his house purchase have to do with your tour, or any other personal business.

You paid for his services and for him to pay attention to you. If he is doing personal business that isn't what you paid for.

I don't know about the changes made to your tour - a polite question to the company as to why may result in an answer.

What "cause trouble"? What does a trip to the zoo for his child have to do with your tour?

If this caused you enough trouble to write about it surely he caused you and your daughter "trouble".

But Nigel is right, he deserves to loose his job. I can understand quickly greeting a friend you haven't seen since 2020, but five phone calls? Five?

The Pyramid is in the middle of the road , not far from a metro station. It's nothing special, think at fake Gondolas in Vegas. Same for the Romans and Egypt.

Anyway... May I kindly ask what the f. Is a "fake" ice-cream? One made with undercover soya milk?

I enjoyed the Eating Europe tours I took, but if a guide isn't doing their job, the company needs to know because it affects their business.

What Nigel said

Every tour I’ve ever been on has asked for feedback and I’m happy to give it
Luckily the guides we’ve had are most always excellent But if I had any criticism I’d givethat as well
It only helps the tour company maintain their good reputation

Not sure if it was a request actually sent to me
Our guide made a point to ask for it and made sure we knew his name so he got the credit

When in Rome last September, we did the Roman Guy's (local) Trastevere food tour which I would highly recommend. I wrote a little review of the tour on an earlier post.

Aimee I'm curious who your guide was if you're comfortable sharing. I ask because although I truly enjoyed our Testacchio tour, our guide also took a few personal calls (he mentioned his young son which makes me wonder if we had the same person). He's a musician and I guess was trying to deal with some bookings? Not sure but although the overall experience was enjoyable and I did find him attentive 95% of the time, I do agree that it was a bit off-putting.

I agree--several calls is a bit much. But I also understand your reluctance to complain about him because he was super nice and sweet! We actually took his card at the end of the tour and considered going to see his band but didn't end up doing so. :)

I wonder if we went to the same restaurant at the end--it also wasn't my favorite part of the tour but that's mostly because I learned I'm not a big fan of amatriciana lol. I also don't remember us getting suppli but we did get a digestif at the restaurant. We had a choice between amaro or limoncello, I believe.
