Tastes & Traditions of Rome: Testaccio Food and Market Tour

We couldn't have enjoyed this tour more. We took four tours during our time in Rome, and this was our favorite. The food was absolutely terrific, but we also learned a lot about the food culture of Italy, and how people enjoy socializing around food and drink. Couldn't recommend this tour more!

We had the most wonderful food tour in Rome. Our guide Andrea was exceptional, the food was delicious and we met a lovely group of people. I would highly recommend taking a few hours of your day to experience something unique. Thank you devour yours and Andrea for you knowledge and experience.

Fabulous tour with an excellent tour guide, very informative not just about the food but local history which brought the tour alive. The food stops were well planned to be informative and create a narrative ending in the excellent historic final restaurant specialising in 5th quarter food ( the owner host also helped make the tour explaining his families history. A lovely diversion whilst in Rome and would highly recommend.

Our guide was amazing and was really genuine about sharing this area of Rome with us. The food and wine were all really great!

Fernanda was an excellent guide. She loved her work. She kept meeting people she knew - obviously was well versed in the neighborhood we visited. Food was excellent. Almost too much for me which is rare

I have now taken two tours with Devour/Walks and they have both been excellent! The Tastes and Traditions of Rome tour had the perfect mix of unique and delicious food, history, and culture. Our tour guide was warm and engaging and very knowledgeable. All the vendors we encountered had a family history working with the foods they were offering and were very kind. We had lunch in a traditional family-owned restaurant that opened in 1887 and one could tell that pride and care went into maintaining and sharing their culinary traditions. There was just enough walking and resting, and way too much food!-Which is never a bad thing. ;) I would highly recommend this tour for anyone that loves food and also loves understanding the history behind it's production and preparation while getting to know the people that make it. The Hidden Gems walking tour went way beyond my expectations and made me hungry for more "hidden gems" off the beaten path. Learning about the ancient Roman aqueducts in such a beautiful natural setting made me feel like I was transported back in time. Another plus about this tour is that none of the areas we visited were nearly as crowded as many of the popular sites. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful which allowed me to connect with the experience and made it much more meaningful. This guide was also excellent. I'm so impressed I've booked a third tour with this company.

We greatly enjoyed the food tour. Sylvia was a wonderful guide, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate. The timing and quantities of food were very well judged and all delicious. We didn't have any breakfast beforehand and were pleased that we hadn't!

Can’t rate this tour highly enough, in particular because of our fantastic tour guide Fernanda. Tour itself is fantastic and the consumables are excellent. Could have spent more time on the tour but we were stuffed! Tip, don’t have breakfast!!!

Excellent family experience, very nice and knowledgeable local tour guide, interesting history mixed with food information. The restaurant we had lunch at was amazing. I wish we'd had time to shop at the market we walked through. Better geared for a 1st time visitor than someone already familiar with common local foods and customs.
