About this tour
Explore Trastevere and the historic Jewish Ghetto across the Tiber, stopping for Roman street food along the way. This 2.5-hour private walking tour visits Santa Maria Basilica and landmarks like Ponte Sisto whilst sampling dishes like supplì (crispy rice balls) and pizza. Small groups of no more than 15 people keep things intimate, and the route works for most dietary requirements when arranged in advance.

- Visit Santa Maria Basilica in Trastevere's heart
- Walk Ponte Sisto with views toward Saint Peter's dome
- Sample authentic Roman pizza fresh from local makers
- Discover Piazza Trilussa and neighbourhood backstreets
- Learn Jewish Ghetto history on the eastern bank
- Finish with desserts sourced from neighbourhood vendors
What to expect
Your guide leads a small group through winding cobbled streets, pausing at aperitivo spots and street vendors to taste your way across Rome's riverside quarters. Expect to stand whilst eating and walking—this is casual neighbourhood grazing rather than sit-down dining. You'll pop into the basilica, hear stories about how the Jewish community shaped this tight-knit district, and take in riverside views from medieval bridges. The pace is leisurely; the focus is on real food locals eat, not tourist theatre.
