Great 5 star tour in a local area off the beaten track in Testaccio. Mattia our guide was excellent, gave us lots of information and history about Italian food and how the locals eat and shop. Lots of stops and tasty food, no need to have breakfast. Had a fantastic time - thanks a five star experience, recommended.
