It was great, we learned a lot from our guide "Sushi" and the food was excellent. As was the cellar tour. I would absolutely recommend it.

Our tour guide Celeste was adorable, entertaining and told us lots of interesting information and fun facts about the great food. An all-round successful evening, thank you for that. I have rarely indulged in gluttony with such pleasure, but the food was also simply delicious.

We very much enjoyed Anna's tour. She was very knowledgeable. And........... when I told her I did not like cheese you could immediately see her thinking about how to cope with that bomb shell. And then she made it into something to joke about when, in the cheese tasting part, two of the other members of our group didn't eat there cheese either! She rang ahead to each eatery and asked if they could accommodate me and they did which shows how much they value her. Thank you Anna
Paula was very good. Signage at meetup location could have been better. This was an issue for other tours we did during our visit. .
Our Fod and Wine tour through Trastevere in Rome was fantastic. Kat was a great tour guide and explained so much of the history as we was walking through the authentic streets. The food, wine and beer was great. An easy booking process and detailed instructions for the meeting point, I would highly recommend. Thankyou Kat you were great, all the best in your future endeavours.
Karina from Carpe Diem Tours was exceptional! Great personality made the whole experience fun. Her knowledge of the culture and food made everything interesting as we walked around Trastevere. Lots of funny anecdotes and jokes throughout kept it lively. Would highly recommend for anyone interested!
We truly enjoyed our tour with a fantastic guide Anna! Anna is very knowledgeable and fun guide who opened few secretes about traditional Roman food. We would definitely recommend to join a walking food tour, this is something different from regular sightseeing and will leave you with great memories
We enjoyed it immensely. What a great way to discover Rome this way. Anna is an enthusiastic guide who tells you everything about the food culture in Rome and so much more. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved spending time with Lisa! She was absolutely perfect, full of information and life!!! My only feedback is to change the marketting on this tour (it said we were going to see 8-10 tastings) which we did 4 (which was perfect) just so people have a more accurate idea of what they are getting into!
The tour was amazing! Lisa was as a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience getting to taste different dishes and treats around the historical district!
Our guide Lisa was fantastic and very friendly. The food was delicious and varied. We had a great time 💜

Our guide Barbara was very professional, friendly and we learned a lot from her about Rome's street food. Thank you Barbara Polya and Grace
I don't think we could go inside and order at the "Norcineria Viola" unless we joined this tour. Our guide Greta was informative, friendly and entertained us very well. It is nice to try bit of everything without wasting time.
Ariana was a great tour guide! She took us to some very tasty places. Her knowledge about food and history was just what we were after 😊
Lisa was lovely! The small group size (just 2 of us plus our guide) allowed for us to really get to know each other so it felt like we were hanging out with a friend. Food was great, nice variety and options. Great way to learn about food and culture in Rome!
Had such a great evening out. Monica was great she has so much knowledge about the food and area and really pleasant to talk with.
