Absolute must do!
This was a dream tour! Alessandro was so enthusiastic, interested and interesting, attentive, caring, professional and proud to show me his city. There was plenty to see and do and all very well thought out as we even got to the Colosseum for golden hour! From Suppli to gelato,it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Alessandro has superb English and I loved all lengths he went to to make me feel welcomed and safe, as a solo female traveler- this is amazing! I would definitely recommend this tour with Alessandro and I will go on it again with him next time I’m back in Rome- a bespoke way to see some very cool parts of Rome and taste some incredible food & drinks! Already planning my return ☺️

Alessandro is an amazing tour guide!
We had an incredible time on this tour. Our guide, Alessandro, was not only knowledgeable about the local food and culture but also about the history and preceding culture of the area. He came prepared with multiple binders, full of pictures and informational diagrams! I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a quick dive into authentic Roman cuisine and the history surrounding it, and if you can absolutely request Alessandro to be your guide!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your feedback on Rome Food Tour, we are so happy you enjoyed Alessandro's interpretation of history and we hope you can join us again in your next adventure in Italy!

Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views cost?
+
Prices start at €64 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views take?
+
Plan for about 1.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views?
+
Included: Snacks; Breakfast; Meals; 2-hour guided walk through Monti; and Lunch. Not included: Gratuities; Additional Food and Drinks; and Hotel Pickup and Dropoff not included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views?
+
Meet our guide in front of the Fountain of the Catechumens, Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, in the heart of the Monti district. Remember to add in your whatsapp number, so our guide can reach out there in case of need. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Rome Food Tour: Rione Monti Street Food and Colosseum views if the weather is bad?
+
