Getting started Meet your guide under the Brazilian flag outside the Brazilian Embassy in Piazza Navona N.14. Then set off on a gastronomic extravaganza in the heart of Rome.
What to expect Start with an authentic espresso or cappuccino at one of Rome’s oldest cafés, then follow your expert guide through colorful Campo de’ Fiori or down lamp-lit streets at twilight.

Stop at a gourmet salumeria for cured meats and artisan cheeses, paired with a thoughtful selection of local pours. Take a seat at a beloved Roman trattoria for two classic pastas, and wrap it all up with a crisp cannoli and a scoop of creamy gelato.
Of course, the highlight is the secret surprise dish you’ll only see on the tour.
