Guidekin's take

Trastevere through the places you would not find alone: a cheese shop a century old, a cookie factory from the interwar years, refined gelato and chefs who rework Roman cooking, with five tasting stops and water and wine at the table.

Tastings and a foodies' guide are included at €85 per person, extra drinks are not. Vegan and gluten free on request.

In our comparison: #154 of 197 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
