Francesco's Rome Food Experience

Show all photos
3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Step into Rome the way locals do. Walking, tasting and letting the city reveal itself one bite at a time.

You will explore real Roman streets with a local tour leader who introduces you to the flavors, habits, and food culture that shape everyday life in the city.

From simple daily favorites to iconic specialties, from neighborhood bakeries to lively market stalls. Each stop becomes a window into the history, creativity, and social life behind the food.

Tastings are chosen on the spot. Your tour leader helps you navigate the local food scene, explains what you see, and guides you toward authentic choices without forcing a scripted menu.

This is a private experience for small groups only. No crowds, no rushed pace. Just a relaxed walk, meaningful conversations, real flavors and a deeper connection with Rome.

If you want more than sightseeing and tourist menus, this is your way into the real city.
