Guidekin's take

Not the Museums but the neighbourhood behind them: an award winning food walk through Prati and Trionfale with pizza, cheeses and cured meats, truffles, aged balsamic, handmade pasta and tiramisu, and wine poured freely, in a group capped at fifteen.

Food, wine and water are included at €89 per person, pickup is not.

In our comparison: #6 of 138 in Vatican, Sistine Chapel & St Peter's Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
