Testaccio is the best place to get close to food and experience the real feel of the area, due to the presence of an excellent local market and many trattorias and shops that make this quarter a true gastronomic reference point.
In an area rich in Roman monuments and modern art, as we explore the streets of the neighbourhood, admiring the exceptional ancient Pyramid and the murals of contemporary Street Art, we will stop at various points for samples of local food: pizza, cold meats and cheeses, fried food, pasta. And, of course, cappuccino and coffee and cakes or ice cream. You will be able to enjoy various samples of local cuisine led by an expert guide, who will put you in the know as regards recipes, local traditions and various Italian products, from mozzarella to wine. The perfect tour for experiencing Rome and becoming better acquainted with the local environment.
The visit is organised by AGTAR-Associazione Guide Turistiche Abilitate Roma (Association of Qualified Tourist Guides Rome), the largest association of guides in Lazio, which proposes a number of specific itineraries for those who want to admire Rome and its surroundings while walking in the open air and at the same time increase their knowledge of the river.
The visits respect the philosophy of the Tiberland DMO: to make known sites of exceptional interest but different from those crowded by mass tourism; to promote open-air itineraries and interaction with the city and the population; to promote responsible and quality tourism, respecting the land and the local economy.
All of this is carried out to the highest quality standards: visits are conducted only by licensed tourist guides, professionals certified by the professional association AGTAR.
The guide adapts explanations and timing to the visitors, to offer an optimal experience, which varies according to age and needs.
