A lovely lady called Gulia took my husband and I on a walk round Rome sampling food and drink from various shops and a superb pasta lunch. If you are going todo this tour I advise you not to eat much beforehand as we finished the tour around 2:00pm and did not eat another thing all day. We had meats and cheese with some wine to start off with and then followed this in a picturesque market square with tasting various oils and vinegars. Roman Pizza and beer were next, followed by a delicious lunch of two different types of pasta. Then followed dessert of either cannoli or tirimisu at another stop off point, ice cream and coffee to finish. Never felt so full. Guila was full of interesting conversation about her city. All in all a great day out ending at the Trevi fountain.

Sacha was our guide for this wonderful tour. She was great fun and passionate about what she does. 5 food stops with wine, finishing with gelato - perfect. The meats and cheese were delicious and the pasta was divine. It’s worth eating inside if you can with the locals. Skip breakfast as the portions are good sizes, you won’t go hungry. Sacha, thank you so much for making a difference to our holiday.

Our guide Alessia met us promptly and we had a superb tour of the Field Of Miracles - Leaning Tower included. Alessia was warm and friendly - she certainly knew all about the history and buildings. We had an excellent tour (thank you!) and would highly recommend if you wanted a more in-depth knowledge about the site for very little more than the admission price alone, to seek out Discoverypisa.com
