Alessandro was a great tour guide and the food in Testacccio was delicious. Despite the rain and cool temperatures, Alessandro made the experience enjoyable. It was an area that we wouldn’t have gone to without the tour so would definitely recommend as something off the beaten path.

Le guide que nous avons eu n était pas très passionné, son anglais pauvre ce qui rendait les échanges compliqués. Nous n avons pas eu de réelles explication sur la cuisine italienne il nous a juste commandé de la nourriture d un endroit à un autre sans vraiment apprendre quoique ce soit
