You'll join one of our local Rome hosts for a food tour around historic Testaccio, an edgy neighborhood that reads like a grid of old-school trattorias and trendy street food joints (hopefully while wearing your stretchiest trousers). You'll eat your way around the district where the Cucina Romana was born - since after all, the best way to discover a new culture is through its food. You’ll feast on the hyper-local and seasonal dishes which Rome is famous for and discover regional and seasonal produce while also trying some local pizza.

Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
