Our group had a blast touring Roma with Fabio! He did an impressive job providing historical information about the city, weaving in geopolitical insights as we drove around town. He was engaging and respectful. And the food and drinks were excellent!

One of my favorite things we’ve done in Italy! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and sociable. We had 7 stops altogether and everything we ate was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It was really cool to be able to learn more about Trastevere and the history of the area. Would absolutely do this again, 10/10 recommend!!

This was the best tour and Georgia was an amazing host. The group came together like old friends connecting over wine and so much amazing food. Georgia was wonderful and truly made the tour welcoming to all.
The history with the wine cellar to Roman eats was fabulous. Come hungry. 😋

We enjoy local food tours and found this tour with Walter (from Australia) to be interesting and very informative. Walter is also a professional chef so not only did he provide interesting details of the historic areas as we walked but also gave a lot of great insight of the food and cooking techniques. Would we tour again with Walter, YES!, without any hesitation. You definitely should book a tour with him because he is so good!

We had such a wonderful time during our pasta-making class with Leo and Marielle in Trastevere! From the moment we arrived, Leo made us feel welcome and created a fun, relaxed atmosphere. His passion for Italian cuisine and culture really came through, and he was incredibly knowable and engaging throughout the experience.
The class was hands-on, informative, and—most importantly—delicious! We learned how to make pasta from scratch, enjoyed some amazing food, and got to connect with others in a beautiful Roman setting. It was truly a highlight of our trip to Rome.
Highly recommend this experience with Eating Europe, especially if you get Leo as your guide. Grazie mille, Leo!

Amin is the best! His knowledge of the history and culture of Rome made our tour enjoyable and informative. He is personable and communicated with us in a way that allowed us to be comfortable with him. He was attentive to all our needs. At the end of tour, he helped us return to where we were staying. Our favorite moment was when we passed a long line of people waiting at a restaurant and we were served fried artichoke without a long wait. Because of Amin, we look forward to booking with Eating Europe Food Tours again.

I absolutely loved this tour! As a self-proclaimed foodie, I can attest to the quality of everything we tasted! We stopped at 6 or 7 places (I've already lost track!), and I loved all of them. If I really had to choose, I would say da Enzo, Il Spirito di Vino, and L'Elementare were my top 3, but I'd go back to any of them! Valéria was a fantastic tour guide. I would highly recommend booking the tour with her!

Our food tour in Italy was an absolute highlight of our trip, and it was made unforgettable thanks to our incredible guide, Ricardo. From the very beginning, Ricardo’s passion for food, culture, and history shone through. He not only introduced us to authentic local dishes but also shared the fascinating stories and traditions behind each one, which made every stop so much more meaningful.
The pacing of the tour was perfect—we never felt rushed, and yet we covered so many hidden gems that we never would have discovered on our own. Ricardo made sure that everyone felt comfortable and engaged, and he had the wonderful ability to make the group feel like old friends by the end of the day.
What truly stood out was Ricardo’s warmth and genuine love for what he does. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible, even giving us tips and recommendations we continued to use for the rest of our trip.
If you’re looking for an authentic, delicious, and unforgettable way to experience Italy, this food tour is a must—and make sure you get Ricardo as your guide. He turned a great tour into an extraordinary memory.
