About this activity

When Rome turns golden and Trastevere's cobblestones start to glow, that's your cue. Narrow alleys, family-run trattorias, street food stands, wine bars older than the Colosseum, and a guide who knows the story behind all of it. This intimate small-group tour takes you through the neighborhood on foot, eating your way from the Tiber Island to the best gelato in Rome. With up to 12 guests, you'll have skip-the-line access to spots that are hard to get into on your own, with good company and even better food. Important Note: Every departure features 6–7 delicious stops through the charming streets of Trastevere, and every tour always includes a pizza tasting, a delicious sit-down pasta dinner, and authentic Italian gelato, along with other local specialties. Some itineraries may include renowned local favorites such as Spirito Divino or Da Enzo, however these restaurants are not included on every departure, and stops may vary based on availability to ensure the best possible experience

    4. Roma Termini

      Step down into a wine cellar that predates the Colosseum by 160 years. You'll sip local wine and taste a recipe said to date back to Julius Caesar's Rome, inside a space that feels like genuine time travel (included on select departures only, depending on availability).

    5. Roma Termini

      Meet Trastevere's undisputed king of porchetta. You'll taste slow-roasted pork tucked into white pizza, washed down with a cold beer. The kind of street food pairing that needs invites a second bite.

    6. Roma Termini

      The supplì is Rome's essential street food: a fried rice ball, crispy on the outside and perfectly molten in the middle. You'll taste it at a hole-in-the-wall institution that's been feeding this neighborhood for decades.
