The wine and food tour with Francesca was excellent. Francesca was very personable and made our group of 8 celebrating a 50th birthday feel very comfortable. The salumeria at the Pantheon was a great start to the tour. The wines, cheese, truffle and aged balsamic were all delicious while viewing the Trevi Fountain from a rooftop bar/restaurant. It was nice walk to the restaurant, which helped make room for dinner and more wine and then to Pompi for some of the best Tiramisu in Rome. Francesca was informative and the food and wine were plentiful while we casually enjoyed some of the beautiful sights of Rome. We hope to visit again soon and will definitely look to book another tour with Francesca.

Our tour with Lisa was great. We saw several sights in Rome, tasted good food and wine. Lisa combined all three to make this tour great. Warning: be sure to show up hungry! Night view of the Trevi Fountain was fabulous. We learned a lot about Italian wine and food.

Excellent food, wine and company

Our guide, Luisa, was very friendly and informative. Our fellow diners were wonderful snd the entire group had an excellent experience. The locations were incredible and the food and wine was superb. Drinking one of Italy’s best wines and eating truffles overlooking the Trevi Fountain was a highlight of our Italian holiday that we will never forget. A big thank you to Luisa and the California girls.
