About this experience
Skip the planning and experience Rome through your taste buds on this award-winning food tour through the Trastevere district. With priority access and every reservation sorted in advance, you’ll avoid the crowds and head straight to the real Roman food scene.
Led by a local food expert, you’ll explore family-run trattorias and tucked-away street food spots that most visitors miss. Throughout the evening, you'll sample different tastings like fresh pasta, crispy Roman pizza, and the best gelato in the city. You’ll also indulge in local wine or non-alcoholic beverages of your choice.
As you eat, you'll get a deeper look at the stories and traditions that make Roman cuisine so special, with behind-the-scenes access and insider tips from an expert guide who really knows their way around a plate.
Important: For a fully gluten-free experience, we recommend booking this tour as a private option so we can tailor the stops just for you.
