We had a fantastic tour of Testaccio this morning with thanks to Silvia who facilitated the tour seamlessly. We learnt a great deal about the area, the history, the market and lots of local tips. The local food samples were delicious and plentiful all accompanied with interesting historical and present information. Great company too. :-)

I had a great tour of Rome today with Alessandro! He was very nice, friendly, and made everyone feel welcome. He shared lots of interesting and useful information about the city's history, landmarks, and local culture, which made the tour even more enjoyable. It was a fun experience from start to finish, and I learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome. Thank you, Alessandro!

Great food, tour guide was super knowledgeable and energetic. No complaints on this tour! It was really hot out and he was good about finding the shady spots for us while he gave us a rundown of the areas.

Annamaria was a lovely host and very knowledge about the neighbourhood and the food. A great time. Would recommend - especially as it's off the beaten track, without tourists.
