Off the Beaten Path Food & Wine Walking Tour in Rome

We have been to Rome numerous times and after seeing just about all of the historical sites we were looking for a different experience. Well, the Savor Italy Tours with Holly is definitely the thing you have to do. Aside from eating your way through some of the best establishments Rome has to offer, you get the pleasure of Holly who without a doubt is a wealth of knowledge and is just charming. You definitely well not be disappointed or leave being starved.

We participated in the Rome food and wine walk. Our guide was Mara. We had a lovely time and Mara was an excellent guide. I would certainly recommend it to my friends and if I can. The only issue for us was the starting time. 10.45 was a bit late to be "breakfasting". By the time we got to the final restaurant we were actually stuffed and perhaps did not do the lunch justice. All three of us consumed less than 10% of what was provided. Despite that, the structure of the walk and places we visited was just right. We returned the following day for lunch at the market.

We were lucky to be the only people on this tour which was booked fora birthday celebration. We had the local knowledge of our lovely guide to take us through some of the best places for food. This is billed as a tasting tour but in fact was large portions wherever we stopped. The food was delicious highlight being the slow cooked beef pattie and wines plentiful. We had to stop before completing all the tastings just because we were too full from gelato, cake and pasta. Hoa did an excellent job and she made our trip very special. We could've done with a slightly shorter tour as we were expecting it to last 3 hours and it would have been 4 ½ hrs if we'd done all that was on her list. For anyone concerned about how far you walk it was a gentle walk with lots of stops so very manageable.
