Guidekin's take

A twilight walk with a Roman archaeologist who mixes hidden corners with more than fifteen tastings, from pizza al taglio at a bakery open since the nineteenth century to the city's oldest bar, still run by the same family.

Tastings, wine, beer and the Roman aperitivo of wine and gassosa are included at €93 per person, pickup is not. Fully wheelchair accessible.

In our comparison: #163 of 197 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
