Great food and wine tour of Monti district

Alessandra met us promptly as planned. She was very friendly. We made 5 stops for a variety of local tastes, with wine and beer included. Everything was delicious. She explained all the food and told us about the history iof Rome, the culture, climate etc. She handled all reservations and ordering, gave us plenty of time for photos and questions. Wonderful time !

Monti Food Tour

this was a great experience. we had Marco as our guide and he was great. Ask for him. He has spent his entire life in Rome and is very knowledgeable about the City. The places he took us were all wonderful.

Response from the operator: Hello, our tours are a unique and unforgettable experience and as such, they should be lived to the fullest. Thanks for choosing us, hope to see you again soon in one of our tours. Francesca and The Walking Palates' Team

Flavorful and informative a wonderful evening

We had an excellent walking food tour with Annamaria. She was very pleasant as well as being informative on the city of Rome and its culture. The food was excellent and we would highly recommend the experience. Thank You.

Disappointing food tour

The tour included only 4 stops. The 1st stop deli was fabulous. Next stop pizzeria included small glass of beer nothing special. The 3rd restaurant was pasta & wine was nice. Last stop for gelato was delicious. Minimal history of area provided. No bakery or fried artichokes

Not the best

Sent the wrong location to meet which meant we had to keep contacting to find out where. We were text to meet at the fountain when there are a large number of fountains in rome. Food was nice but drinks on the small side. 2 glasses of wine and 2 large beers shared between 7 of us for the 3 hours. Not much information from tour guide. Not worth the money.

Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We're extremely sorry for your experience. Even though we failed to meet your expectations, we really do hope you will give us another try. It will be our pleasure to have you as a guest on one of our food tours in any of the ten cities where we operate. Francesca and the Walking Palates' team

Walking Food Tour of Rome with Tastings: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

How much does Walking Food Tour of Rome with Tastings cost?

+

Prices start at $50 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 Walking Food Tour of Rome with Tastings take?

+

Plan for about 3 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 Walking Food Tour of Rome with Tastings worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 13 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 Walking Food Tour of Rome with Tastings?

+

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 Walking Food Tour of Rome with Tastings suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Walking Food Tour of Rome with Tastings?

+

Around 5 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Walking Food Tour of Rome with Tastings 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 Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing 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.
