We loved walking the city with Eleonora and having her show us some of the best elements of traditional Roman cuisine, such as what to look for, seasons in which to get certain foods, even the history of how some foods came to be a part of Roman cuisine. We only wish we had scheduled the tour earlier in our itinerary so as to utilize the wonderful bakeries, restaurants, cafes, pizzerias and gelaterias that we learned about during our walk.
Eleanora was filled with foodie tidbits and etiquette which helped fill our tummies! I liked that she tried to focus on the trend for in season foods (wish we could have had some artichokes) and focused on less touristy areas. I'd love to have more food but I think that would be phyically impossible to consume more food in that time frame! I'd be very interested in having a multi-course dinner concept with local favorites and wines.
Eleonora has a very warm personality. Her tour provided us with a wide variety of food tasting choices which we would not otherwise have experienced. She made a special point to get to know each of the members of our tour group.
