5.00A fantastic way to explore, learn & eat with your new Roman ‘best friend’ for a few hours. The shops, eateries & hidden gems I would not have found on my own. Silvia was an absolute sweetheart! She knows her city, its history & great places to sample the Under the radar Jewish Roman cuisine. A fantastic way to learn of Rome’s hidden gems.

5.00What a great tour. Thanks to Sylvia my guide who made it interesting and a wonderful combination of history and food stops. I was looking forward to the fried artichoke and it didn’t disappoint. Would highly recommend this tour for someone is interested in the history of this area and Jewish food. Casual walking experience.

5.00Very informative and great food tastings. Tour guide was exceptional and pace was good. Managed through a very busy day without stress. Maybe a meeting place that is at the bookstore could be more recognizable.

1.00Very unhappy! My wife and I were unable to find the tour guide after walking for almost one hour. The guide did attempt to call but unable to understand. My wife, who is Type I diabetic, began to experience serious, health-concerning low blood sugar levels. At this point, along with the time being after 5pm, I felt it best to not risk my wife’s health in order to meet-up with the group. I finally messaged the tour guide & told her to move on with the tour & “have a good night.” Not only am I disappointed with not attending the tour along with my wife feeling lousy for several hours afterwards, I am more disappointed with VIATOR NOT ISSUING ME A FULL REFUND. Viator seems more concerned about making a buck then being understanding that sometimes things happen beyond your control; especially related to someone’s health! GRADE = FAIL

5.00We loved it! The experience was truly very complete, the guide gave us a lot of information about the neighborhood that we didn't imagine. It has a great history. The food, as it cannot be otherwise in Rome: one thing better than the other. The dish with artichokes (typical of Hebrew cuisine) is very good. And a separate paragraph for desserts with ricotta. Amazing. To recommend, without a doubt.
Best food and an unforgettable wander.

5.00We had a wonderful experience in Rome with Walkin Gourmet. It was our first time in the city, and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed everything - from food to rich culture, history, nature, and accommodation. All the places chosen by our private guide in the jewish ghetto were mesmerizing.
