Food Tours Rome - plenty on offer! It's tough for tourists, occasionally fleeced by their own hotel and regularly fleeced in Rome's restaurants and elsewhere when all they want to do is enjoy Rome before returning home.
This city has become a magnet destination for tourists, but microwaved pasta, microwaved pizza, cold pasta, cold pizza, expensive beer, horrible table wine and yesterday's desserts - all at twice or three times the price paid by an Italian - is giving Rome a bad name. Enjoy Rome, and the best way to do it is on our popular Small Group Tours of Rome. When the time comes to eat and drink as the Romans do, our specialist 'Taste of Rome' tours could be the icing on your Roman holiday cake!

However, to their credit they have accrued some 60 million Facebook likes, ergo it seems that the masses still love and trust TA...

1. Carrying cameras or money belts around your neck. NO! Every time I board the Rome Metro I see hundreds of expensive cameras begging to be relieved of their owner.
