This activity was great !
I booked it with a friend of mine. Francesca picked us with her car and she brought us to the coolest places in Rome. Not only did we enjoy Rome's streetart with Francesca and her artist friend, we also enjoyed historical secrets about Rome from our two born-and-raised in Rome hosts.
Francesca and the artist are so friendly and generous we felt like spending an evening with friends : we ate the best tiramisu in town, and ended the evening having a drink altogether :-)
We really hope to see them again sometime !
Don't overthink it : book this activity and enjoy the real Rome !
