Annamaria was a fabulous guide, the tour meet point was easy to find and the stops were great. We started with coffee and the special Roman breakfast cake maritozzo, we then went to the market for ham, cheese, bruschetta (plain not tomato), delicious beef & chicory/ artichoke filled rolls, then onto a restaurant for pasta, wine and a tour of the restaurants special wine cellar, followed by gelato dolci ...all delicious, possibly too much food but when in Rome I think it can be excused, just skip breakfast to save your appetite. The neighbourhood was less touristy and felt more authentic than Trastevere. Only potentially missing thing would have been to add a deep fried artichoke and a suppli market stall tasting in somehow. Best buffalo mozzarella I've ever tasted. Would recommend, had a lovely 3.5 hours!

I really enjoyed our guide (Anna Maria? I’m sorry, I think that was her name). The tour was a great balance of food and history, and that I enjoyed. Plenty of food but not too too much. Thank you for a very enjoyable morning.
