Daniela, our guide was awesome! She made this an exciting 2.5 hours walking tour of food, food, food. Best espresso and Daniela got us to try the coffee granita as well. Then there was the gelato in a cup and gelato sandwiched in a brioche and tiramisu...bellissimo! All this together with an excusion into the little side streets of Rome. What a glorious way to start our Roman holiday.

When in Rome... experience all the wonders all with your taste buds! This was the best tour I have ever been on. Daniela is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about Rome and it's amazing culinary delights. As a local she knows all the hidden gems for Espresso, gelato and tiramisu and informs you of the background and evolution all of them and how to elect the most superior of these foods. I recommend everyone who visits Rome to experience this tour as it opens up your senses and shows you how true Italians enjoy the best there is to offer!
We had a great time on this tour and would highly recommend it. Our children (14, 12 and 9) also enjoyed it. It was great to see Rome this way and all of the tastings were amazing (especially the coffee granita).
a delicious food tour based on Italian sweets and coffee, in the most famous spots in Rome. The impact of this tour was significant: Maya had her first espresso in life, and sice then, espresso is a part in coffee menu.
Look at the photos to understand the joy and pleasure during the tour.
Mario, the tour guide, possessed an in-depth knowledge of the coffee and gelato making process. His excitement and interest made the walking part of the tour very enjoyable. The espresso, cappuccino, gelato and tiramisu selections tasted were delicious and the definitely the highlight of the tour. The Flor and Pompi shops are must visit locations when in Rome. The walking part of the tour took us on the side streets of Rome pass high-end designer and tourist stores. If you want to experience a different part of Rome – off the beaten path – then I highly recommend this tour. Ciao.

We were taken around the historic center of Rome, drinking coffee like Romans (at the bar, no lingering, except to learn facts about coffee and the places we were drinking). Drinking coffee in Rome is thankfully a million miles from Starbucks pseudo-coffee speak. Here the only shot you might ask for in your coffee is a drop of milk (or a splash of grappa), not whatever the flavor-of-the-month is.
Then we had gelato. And more gelato. And even more gelato. Our friendly, knowledgeable guide Mario pointed out the differences between industrial and artisanal products (look for natural colors among other things), and between ice cream in America and gelato in Italy (guess who beats in more air AND more fat). We were dazzled by the choice of flavors, different chocolates, fruits, nuts and more unusual combinations as well – celery gelato, anyone? At every stop, we were able to have samples. I came away with a belly full of gelato, a head full of stories and a camera full of pictures. I am going to be dreaming of gelato for a long, long time.
La dolce vita really doesn't get much better than this. Grazie, Mario!
