About this tour
A four-hour walking tour through Testaccio with a carefully matched local guide who shapes the itinerary around your tastes and personality. You'll sample six to eight Roman dishes across two or three neighbourhood trattorias and street food stops, tasting the seasonal produce and cucina romana that defines the city.

What to expect
You'll answer a quick questionnaire after booking so your host can tailor the experience to your food interests and personality. Your guide will message you directly to propose a few trattoria options and lock in meeting details—expect genuine flexibility here. The walk meanders through Testaccio's warren of streets, stopping to eat and drink at real neighbourhood spots. Tastings are substantial enough to build a meal across the stops, though you'll walk between venues. Expect honest chat about what makes Roman food tick, not rehearsed spiel. Your host will also flag lesser-known places to eat later in your trip.
