“This was an awesome intro to popular foods in Rome. We did this tour with 2 small kids (4, 6) and I was 6 months pregnant also! It’s a lot of walking, but nothing too bad. The foods were great and our tour guide was fabulous! He was very engaging and overall made the experience very fun. Would highly recommend!”
