About this experience
The local food tour
The Tour is a journey to discover one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city of Rome and just as the Romans did, Trastevere will be reached by visitors via the bridge that linked ancient Rome to the old Transtiberim. You will make this trip accompanied by a local Tour Leader and expert Food Ambassador, and the experience will be full of culinary surprises and will alternate excellent food and wine tastings, as well as local stories and anecdotes. The triumph of the Tour will be represented in the epochal moment of the pasta experience in one of the most historic and least touristy places in the capital. During the tour anyone who wishes will be able to visit one of the most important places of worship in the neighborhood, the Basilica of St. Mary in Trastevere. The tour is worth the asking price and is a unique experience.
