Great
Excellent tour. My only recommendation is to describe the meeting place with as much info as possible. Being from a different country and not having the ability to communicate with local transportation can leave some very confused.

Definitely the highlight of my time in Rome. Food is such a quintessential part of our essence as people/community/society. The stories and history behind how the dish came about brought much life and meaning to it. I certainly recommend this tour to all the foodies out there. Our guide Manuela, was the life and soul of the session. It felt like the neighborhood gal is sharing her food joints with you!
Thoroughly enjoyable!
