This tour is the best way to introduce yourself to Roman food, culture and history! We were so relieved to get out of the heavily-touristed neighborhoods of Rome and spend time in a real neighborhood - exploring the bakeries, produce markets, street food and local restaurants of Testaccio. Rish was a superb guide - sharing his infectious enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the food of his home. Thank you for this amazing experience!
