About this experience
Meet your local guide in front of the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie al Trionfale and start a flavorful exploration of one of Rome’s most authentic neighborhoods. Your experience begins at the bustling Trionfale Market, where Romans shop daily for fresh produce, cheeses, cured meats, and baked goods. As you wander through colorful stalls, you’ll enjoy generous tastings of true Roman street food—crispy supplì, warm focaccia, seasonal fruit, creamy mozzarella, and more!
After the market visit, explore the Borgo and Prati districts before ending the tour in St. Peter's Square, where the grandeur of Bernini’s colonnade and the view of the basilica create an unforgettable finale.
This tour offers two possibilites for upgrading. Our 3-hour Premium Option includes more food and wine tastings for a deeper understanding of Rome's culinary tradition. Our 4-hour Gourmet Option is perfect for foodies and includes a more relaxed pace: sample our delicacies while comfortably sitting down!
