Food Tour in Rome
This was a fabulous tour of the neighborhood. We had an amazing guide Anna Maria. She was very knowledgeable and took us to some amazing places. This was worth it and a good way to see a different neighborhood.

Somewhat off the beaten path
This tour was a nice escape from the areas of Rome swarming with tourists. Chiara led us graciously on a well-balanced exploration of both the cuisine and the history of Testaccio, with ample samplings of various foods from the market and the area. Well worth the journey away from the city center and well worth the price.
