Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this food tour! We really loved it. My 10 years old son and I participated for the 1st time in this food tour. We loved it! Both of us! It was really good! The tour guide Manuela was fantastic! We could not wish for better! The food was super tasty and the duration of the tour was just perfect. We recommend it for anyone! :)

This is an excellent tour. Of course our guide, Mano, made it double excellent. She knows the area and is also known in the area. She is enthusiastic about the tour, the sights along the way and the food offered. She is knowledgeable and answered all questions very well. She made the tour very enjoyable. There are many stops on the way. We saw all the interesting parts of Testaccio like the Mountain/hill and the old slaughterhouse. Many of the tastings were in the Marketplace. It was bustling with locals buying their food for the weekend. The food we tasted was of high quality an MORE than enough. Don't have breakfast before you go on this tour. Excellent tour, excellent guide, excellent foot
