Roberta, our driver was so kind and helpful. They all worked so hard to give us the experience of a life time. My only objection is that Viator is a rip off and if you can book directly w “Italian days” that would be better.”

Chef Marcello was funny and great with the kids (5 and 11), and we learned a lot about how to make pizza and gelato both in the class and in the future at home. The food was delicious and the wine (and soda) was abundant. We also appreciated the souvenir photo we were given. The price was incredibly reasonable for everything included, and it was a great time for all. The kids even asked if we could do it again for dinner the next night. Highly recommend!”

Review of Rome’s evening minivan tour with pizza, gelato, hotel pickup, and landmark photo stops, including value, timing, food, and guide quality.

He pointed out all the sites and provided ample time for photo stops at THE important monuments in Rome AT NIGHT! You can always see the monuments during the day but at night these same places have an all new awe inspiring personna. Definitely a MUST DO activity! Thanks again Roberto!”

Taste 10+ Roman specialties on a three-hour Trastevere food tour with wine, pizza, pasta, gelato, and a local English-speaking guide.

We sampled exceptional cheeses, wine, meats, suppli, pizza, pasta, and gelato from several multi-generational Trastvere businesses whose owners were there to greet us. The pride they each had in their product was evident in every bite we took. If you plan to visit Rome, do this food tour on your first day so you can find and enjoy the best food in Italy for the rest of your stay.Read more”
