Tour Description
Take a stroll through the romantic streets of Trastevere, sampling its city-famous street food along the way. Sink your teeth into a slice of Roman pizza al taglio or savor the elegant simplicity of a steaming supplì.
But don’t say goodbye to Italy’s iconic cuisine as soon as you board your flight home. Head to one of our two top-of-the-line cooking schools in the beautiful Roman city center to learn how to make authentic Italian pizza.
One of our English-speaking chefs will take you step-by-step through the traditional pizza-making process, from crafting the yeasty dough to seasoning the sauce.
Once you’ve made (and eaten!) your doughy creation, follow your guide to a nearby gelateria to cleanse your palate with some refreshing gelato.
Walking, eating, relaxing, chatting: these four things are key to the Italian dolce far niente lifestyle.
