What guests say

A few words from travellers who've walked, tasted, and cooked with us.

  • "My husband and I only had one night in Rome and we knew we wanted to spend the evening with Aly on a food tour! Even in November Rome, its people, sights, history, and of course the food and wine did not disappoint. Aly is so knowledgeable not only in Rome's history but also its food and wine. We learned about new wines we would've never known to taste and foods (part of the slow food movement) 🐌. The pasta, cheese, meat, pizza, wine were phenomenal and I'm still salivating over! If you are in Rome at all please consider taking one of Aly's tours — she is a professional and accommodating and will make you feel like an old friend! Grazie Mille! Till next time!"

  • "We had a very enjoyable evening with Aly. Her tour accommodated my food restrictions seamlessly, and her company for the evening was friendly and entertaining. The food and wine at a variety of venues were delicious and as we walked about beautiful Rome in the evening, she talked about snippets of history. I heartily recommend a personal tour with Aly."

  • "Esperienza magnifica. Ha organizzato un evento perfetto. Il cibo era buonissimo ed anche molto abbondante! Una buona selezione di vini anche — insomma non potevo chiedere di più. Ottimo!"

  • "In 2019 my partner and I met Rome with Aly. We fell in love with her food and wine tours and after four years we finally had the opportunity to catch up with her again!! She is such a beautiful soul and I would recommend her tours to any visitors of Rome. Her tours take you to all the quintessential Roman landmarks. Along the way you enjoy a combination of wines, charcuteries, pasta, tiramisu and gelato… and did I mention the 30-year aged balsamic tasting with epic views overlooking the Trevi Fountain?? Without a doubt our favorite way to experience Rome! Please incorporate her tours during your next visit of the Eternal City — you won't regret it! 🤍"
