Excellent evening in Trastevere
This is the second time we’ve done this tour in Trastevere with Francesca. She is funny, knowledgeable and does a great job. The food has been good both times and the tour is a fun change of pace from some of the other popular things to doing Rome. We’d highly recommend it!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We are extremely glad to hear you had a great time! We hope to see you again in the near future! Best wishes from our team!

Nice alternative to busy major attractions
Tiziano was such a warm pleasant guide, very informative. It was a nice way to tour Trastevere have a few bites on the way with a background of the culture and learn things from a local that you wouldn’t get from any other media.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Our guests satisfaction is our main goal! All the best wishes from our team!

Great Tour guide , subpar food
The guide was wonderful, the location was great but since it was a food tour and for the money spent, the food was sub par. We had an appetizer of some cold cuts and very small pizza square , a fried rice ball, two small squares of pizza , a tiny pastry and a small gelato. I hope the tour operator did not pay a lot for the food because we have done food tours in thailand, vietnam, Columbia, Spain, Morrocco and Fiji and the quality and quantity was much better. I forgot, a shot glass of beer. In Thailand we sat down as a whole group and had a fantastic meal. Not just a few very small bites. For $55 per person and 10 people the company could have done much better.

Fantastic evening food tour in Trastevere
We loved this small-group food tour in Trastevere – it was one of the highlights of our time in Rome. We sampled a nice variety of local specialties, including pizza, pastries, cheeses, Italian salami, and gelato. We also learned about the history of the Roman fountains and even got a short lesson on how to use them properly, which was a fun local touch. Our guide, Marco, really made the tour special. He was funny, pleasant, and very attentive to everyone in the group. He shared interesting bits of history about the area, taught us some Italian, and even explained how to spot authentic Roman food and real gelato versus the more touristy places. It was clear he truly enjoys sharing his country and its cuisine with visitors. The only downside was on our side: we booked this tour just a few hours after an afternoon walking tour, so we were very tired by the evening. However, Marco’s energy and humor kept us going and made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. Overall, this tour is a wonderful way to discover Roman street food and get to know Trastevere. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, tasty, and authentic experience in Rome.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! It means a lot to us! Wish you all the best for the future!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rome: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert cost?
+
Prices start at $54 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: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 152 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: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert?
+
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: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rome: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert?
+
Around 53 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert 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: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert?
+
Included: Sip of wine and beer; Professional Guide; and Food Tasting. Not included: Gratuities; and Extra Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Rome: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert?
+
Meet your guide at the statue of saint Bartholomew in the center of the square Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Rome: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert 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: Trastevere Street Food Tour with Local Expert?
+

+
