We had an amazing tour with Chiara! She was bright and informative and friendly. She was full of information about Testaccio and even though it was very hot when we took our time walking and learned so much. I would recommend this tour to anyone and would book them again myself!

Really enjoyed this walking tour around the neighborhood of Testaccio Market and also visiting some of the shops. Wasn't sure if it would be too much walking for my elderly mother but Ana Marie did a nice job of making sure not to walk too fast. She gave us a great tour and insight into the history of the area and we had so much food. It was nice having a small group which was just our family of 6 and another family of 4. Thank you for a fun day!

Know Before You Book
What makes the Testaccio food tour different from other Rome food tours?
While many Rome food tours focus on the historic center, this one takes you off the beaten path. You’ll explore a real neighborhood, meet locals who’ve run their stalls for generations, and get an intimate look at Roman culinary life.
How many people are on this Testaccio food tour?
Small groups only—max 12 guests. It keeps the atmosphere intimate and ensures you get personal time with your guide.
Is this a good food tour in Rome for kids?
Definitely! Curious eaters of all ages are welcome. From the bustling local market to the historic stone wine cellar, and tastings in between, this tour is perfectly paced to keep kids entertained and full.
Where exactly is Testaccio, and how do I get there from central Rome?
Testaccio is a historic, residential neighborhood just south of the Aventine Hill—easily reached by metro, bus, or a 10-minute taxi ride from the Colosseum area. It's off the beaten path but totally accessible.
Will I actually meet locals on this Rome food tour?
Absolutely. From multigenerational market vendors to the family behind our favorite trattoria, you’ll meet the people shaping Testaccio’s food scene today. Not to mention your guide, who is a Rome local and foodie expert.
What should I bring?
Comfortable shoes are a must—we’ll be walking and standing throughout the experience. We recommend bringing a refillable water bottle, a camera, and an appetite.
Is the tour suitable for solo travelers?
Yes! Many of our guests join solo. It’s a friendly, relaxed experience—perfect for making new connections over great food.
