What your Experience could look like

  • Eat and drink like a Roman in a classic trattoria or osteria, with the excellent company of one of our hosts (alright, we might be slightly biased but they really are wonderful)
  • Discover the places where the locals really eat and try the classic dishes that are served there
  • Learn about Italian food culture and the dishes that are eaten as antipasti, primi and secondi
  • Enjoy an authentic meal, trying traditional Roman dishes made with seasonal produce - it’s all about hyper-local ingredients, cooked with passion (ah, a cliche, but it has to come from somewhere!)
  • Enjoy a glass of regional wine, beer or soft drink with your meal
  • Get tips and recommendations from your host about the best places to eat in the city

    Olga provided us with a wonderful walking tour of Rome, showing us sites we never would have found without a knowledgeable guide. She went above and beyond to confirm the tour with us as I lost my cell phone in the airport prior to arrival. She was very patient while we explored sites and offered additional time frequently. She was very friendly, went at a good pace, and provided us with a wealth of information. I highly recommend her!

    We took a walk with local tour in Rome on 26th December, ‘24 with Luca. Luca was very professional and friendly guide. He had in-depth knowledge of the attractions in Rome. He is very informative and also has a great sense of humour. Luca is also a good photographer and know how to click good snaps. We were very impressed by his knowledge of Rome’s history, culture, food and modern day Roman lifestyle. I would highly recommend Luca as your local tour guide in Rome.
