Food tour on foot · Piazza San Simeone, at the fountain
Two and a half hours on foot with an authorized guide, eating what Romans eat: pizza, supplì, a traditional sandwich and gelato at the end. It's also an easy way to understand Trastevere before choosing it for dinner.
The food tour with the highest rating among those we compare: 4.9 out of 5 with over 4,600 reviews. In two and a half hours on foot, with an authorized guide, you taste the classics of Roman street food: according to the listing, pizza, supplì, gelato and a traditional sandwich. The group is limited to 14 people, so the guide has time for everyone.
The route combines two areas. On one side, Campo de' Fiori, one of Rome’s oldest open-air markets, where you go to find handmade supplì. On the other, Trastevere, across the Tiber, with the history of Santa Maria in Trastevere, the Byzantine-style church, and the crisp Roman pizza from a bakery that, according to the listing, has been open since 1870. It ends with artisanal gelato. Stops may change with the season and holidays.
Tastings are included, drinks are not. The tour is not suitable for those on a gluten-free or vegan diet: the listing states this clearly and asks to report allergies and intolerances in advance. It departs in any weather, from the fountain in Piazza San Simeone.
Arrive five minutes before the time, as the listing asks. If you have allergies, notify before the tour, not at the first stop.
The market and its shops. Here the guide takes you to where supplì is made: rice, ragù or tomato and the mozzarella heart that stretches, 'al telefono'.
The route crosses the Tiber and takes you into the streets of Trastevere, among the true trasteverini: the vendors and artisans who have worked there for generations.
The history of Santa Maria in Trastevere and the crisp Roman pizza from the historic bakery. Two things that go well together.
It ends with artisanal gelato. The order of stops may change with the season: ask the guide where the tour ends.
★★★★★A fantastic tour. At first I almost feared I’d leave stuffed! Top-quality products. The guide told us so many interesting things about the area, and we never ended up in the middle of a crowd, so it was really great, especially at this price! I would have paid more just for the food!
★★★★★Alexandra, our guide, was absolutely fantastic: her passion for the area and the food was extraordinary. We tried so many local dishes and I would happily recommend it to all my friends as a wonderful way to taste Rome.
★★★★★We had Alessandro: very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He also gave us lots of great tips for the rest of the trip!
★★★★★Great tour. We loved it. We wish we had done it at the start of the trip.
