Morning Food Tour with Lunch by Golf Cart

Superb, thoughtfully-crafted tasting morning imbued with personal touches by TRUE local guide Andrea. Morning started with a leisurely coffee paired with exquisite ultra-premium pastries in a chic but accessible bakery. The coffee beans blended on-site are each made in a separate press so the oils don’t mix with yesterday’s coffee. For example. He intermixed a hidden orange garden view-stop with a personalized stroll thru a modern airy market which nevertheless was filled with traditional dishes and ingredients. “Those are my Mom’s two most-made meals” (cannelloni and rice-stuffed baked tomatoes with potatoes). He bought us porchetta panini to take home for later. I’ve never experienced such care from a guide and felt personally appreciated and hosted. Pasta tasting (generous portions) and wine sampler featured a delightful sommelier in an artsy contemporary space. Finished the morning (actually into afternoon) in a LOVELY gelateria with seasonal artisanal flavors. The owner-craftsman greeted us, sharing a couple insider details about his gelato production. Each in our small group of four was WOWED. We were glided through time and visual richness which included the best view of Rome: from a leafy orange-blossom scented garden enhanced with a fresh cool spring water fountain. We’ll treasure our time today with Andrea. You will too.

Andrea made us feel like family from the moment we hopped on the super cool golf cart. The spectacular views, the charming stories, the delicious food all made for a memorable family experience. We packed in so much that we would have missed if we were trying to do it on our own. It felt like we were riding around in a convertible taking in the sights, too, so fun! Andrea is a native and shared his love of the city and the food with you the whole time. I highly recommend this tour!

Nous connaissions les monuments, nous avons découvert le Rome baroques avec un guide français et nous avons pu découvrir des quartiers plus éloignés, des ruines et un magnifique panorama sur Rome. La gastronomie romaine : du café avec pâtisseries délicieuses, un marché typique avec dégustation de fromage de jambon et de pizzas avec des recettes variées, un restaurant typique avec vin de Sardaigne et pates maisons faites devant nous et pour finir une glace (nous en avions mangé de meilleures). Dans tous ces endroits un accueil privilégié par des artisans qui aiment leur métier et leurs produits le tout accompagné d'un guide (Andréa) né à Rome parlant italien et anglais. Mais il a fait des efforts pour se rappeler quelques mots de français et nous avons particulièrement apprécié ses connaissances.
