2. Stop 2

   Your tour starts on Rome's only river island, where your guide sets the scene while the Tiber flows on both sides. Cross the ancient Ponte Cestio into Trastevere and feel the whole neighborhood begin to come alive.

3. Stop 3 · 20 min

   Skip the line at the most iconic Trattoria in Rome since 1935. Toast with DOC prosecco and savor typical Roman specialties that have barely changed in a century (closed on Sundays; included on select departures only, depending on availability).

4. Stop 4 · 20 min

   Step down into a wine cellar that predates the Colosseum by 160 years. You'll sip local wine and taste a recipe said to date back to Julius Caesar's Rome, inside a space that feels like genuine time travel (included on select departures only, depending on availability).

5. Stop 5 · 15 min

   Meet Trastevere's undisputed king of porchetta. You'll taste slow-roasted pork tucked into white pizza, washed down with a cold beer. The kind of street food pairing that needs invites a second bite.

6. Stop 6 · 15 min

   The supplì is Rome's essential street food: a fried rice ball, crispy on the outside and perfectly molten in the middle. You'll taste it at a hole-in-the-wall institution that's been feeding this neighborhood for decades.

7. Stop 7

   We’re now in Trastevere’s main piazza, the lively heart of the neighborhood. Take a look around and soak in the beautiful buildings and vibrant atmosphere.

8. Stop 8 · 30 min

   Time to sit down properly. You'll settle in for a real pasta dinner at a neighborhood trattoria, with two classic Roman preparations (Amatriciana and Gricia) and a generous pour of local wine. Sit back and savor the flavors that have defined Roman kitchens for centuries.

9. Stop 9 · 10 min

   You'll finish at the gelateria that brought gourmet gelato to Rome. Your guide explains how to tell the real thing from a tourist imitation, and then hands you a scoop so you can taste the difference yourself.
