Quick Details
Duration: 3 hours
This tour runs with several departures in the day depending on the season.
Join us on a culinary journey through the historic center of Rome. During our three hours together we will be on the hunt for food havens, carefully avoiding tourist traps thanks to the precious guidance of our local culinary expert. As we savor coffee, gelato, pizza al taglio, bread, cheese and more, we will learn about Rome’s culinary culture.
During our morning tour, we will start with an espresso or cappuccino and a cornetto or other traditional sweet breakfast options. We won’t indulge at this point as this is only the start of our adventure. After learning about Italian coffee we will walk the busy streets discovering Rome’s food culture and taking a peek in a number of traditional food shops such as bakeries and delis to slowly work our way towards lunchtime. The last hour or so will be spent sampling traditional first courses in a trattoria in the historic center.
During our afternoon/early evening tour we will start with a gelato and a coffee to keep us perky and active for the next three hours. We will discuss the history of gelato in Rome and point out a few venues not to miss during your stay. As the evening settles in we will gradually graze our way through tastings of bread, pizza al taglio, and other deli products. The last hour or so will be spent sampling a traditional aperitivo in the historic center.
