We had the best time exploring Testaccio with Luca and Martina! Luca does such a fantastic job bridging together history with food through story telling. We learned so much about the area and cuisine and saw things we wouldn’t have found on our own.

Amazing!

Luca and Laurianna were fabulous guides, providing insightful facts about the history of each location as well as being friendly and fun. They also kindly accommodated our 3 y.o daughter who was a little slower walking… they included her and stopped when needed to help her catch up. The food was incredible and you certainly don’t go hungry! This is the second time we’ve done this tour (once 7 years ago on our first visit to Rome) and it did not disappoint!

The Taste of Testaccio tour was excellent for a small group of students and teachers. Dario led us through the neighborhood and market with a great mix of detailed information and entertaining flair. Despite a few dietary restrictions, there was something for everyone, and we all enjoyed the experience. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
