Highlights

You'll join one of our local Rome hosts to enjoy dinner together, the Italian way. When discovering a new city, the best way to learn about its culture is through its food. And a hands-on approach is key, so you'll need to eat a lot, obviously. You'll head to an osteria or trattoria recommended by your host, and discover Rome's hyper-local, seasonal dishes prepared the local way. Your host will share with you their city's food culture and recommend dishes to order for your antipasti, primi, and secondi, and even dolce if you’ve still got space! Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do

About Rome

Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.

Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
