Tours
Choose your Trastevere food tour
Eating Europe's Twilight Trastevere tour in the centre. Beside it, the two evening walks people
weigh it against: a three-course dinner tour for less, and the top-rated long tasting walk.
The Tour Guy's shorter evening crawl: a Roman deli, supplì or fried cod, a three-course dinner with wine, limoncello and gelato, for barely half the flagship price.
What's included
English-speaking foodie guide, small group of up to 12
Charcuterie at a Roman deli and supplì or baccalà street food
Three-course Roman dinner with wine
Limoncello digestivo and artisanal gelato
Meets in Piazza Farnese across the river; tips not included
Eating Europe's evening walk from Tiber Island into Trastevere: six or seven tastings, a sit-down pasta course, local wines and gelato. Come hungry: it replaces dinner.
What's included
6 to 7 tastings with local wines, prosecco or a spritz
Sit-down pasta course (amatriciana or cacio e pepe) with wine pairing
Pizza, supplì and Roman street food, then artisan gelato
Da Enzo al 29 or Spirito Divino's ancient cellar on selected departures
Not included: tips, hotel pickup, extra drinks; free cancellation to 24 hours
Cooking Italy's long tasting walk from Piazza Trilussa: aged cheese, supplì, Roman pizza, charcuterie at a wine bar and gelato, with generous pours throughout.
What's included
Food tastings at several Trastevere venues, dinner-sized
Wine tasting with red and white Roman wines
Supplì, Roman pizza, charcuterie and aged cheese
Artisanal gelato to finish
Noon or late-afternoon start; groups up to 16; free cancellation to 24 hours
Every tour here feeds you dinner. The differences that matter are where it really starts, whether
there is a sit-down pasta course, how much wine is poured, and whether children can come.
The Twilight tour sells cheaper tickets for ages 13 to 17 and 4 to 12, and under-4s join free
without food; Devour's sunset tour and Secret Food Tours take adults only. Tips are never included. Every tour here
cancels free up to 24 hours ahead.
What you actually get
It starts on an island, and it is your dinner.
Trastevere means "across the Tiber": the cobbled, ivy-hung quarter on the river's west bank where Romans
have eaten late and loudly for centuries. Eating Europe's Twilight Trastevere Food Tour does not start
there, though. You meet on Tiber Island, in Piazza San Bartolomeo all'Isola, then cross the river into
the lanes around Via dei Vascellari, Via dei Genovesi and Santa Maria in Trastevere, finishing near Piazza di
San Cosimato four hours later.
Along the way come six or seven tastings: supplì, cured meats and cheese, pizza with porchetta, fried
artichoke or zucchini, a sit-down pasta course of amatriciana or cacio e pepe, and gelato, with prosecco,
a spritz and local wine. That is a full dinner, so do not book a table afterwards. Two things the name hides:
summer departures start in daylight, and the famous stops at Da Enzo al 29 and Spirito Divino's ancient cellar
run on selected departures only.

Where the evening starts
The Tiber Island meeting point
Piazza San Bartolomeo all'Isola
Piazza S. Bartolomeo all'Isola 22, 00186 Rome, Italy
Tiber Island is the boat-shaped island between the Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere. The small square in front
of the Basilica of San Bartolomeo sits in its middle, and your guide waits by the monument with the cross,
carrying a purple Eating Europe bag or sign. Do not head down the steps to the river bank: the group meets up
on the island. The tour ends on Via Roma Libera in Trastevere, near Piazza di San Cosimato and tram 8.
Arrive 15 minutes before your start time
Ponte Fabricio, from 62 BC, links the island to the Ghetto

★★★★★
Awesome evening of food and wine tasting while enjoying the best parts of Trastevere with family and new friends. Our guide Giulia did a great job of providing history and information about the historic restaurants and dishes we were sampling!
★★★★★
We had seven stops and we were very full when we were done. We sampled some traditional Rome dishes, had pizza and gelato too. A nice group of 12 people. It was the highlight for us and our last night in Europe.
★★★★★
A lot of great stops in a great neighborhood. Really wonderful food and guide. Worth it! Make sure you come hungry!
★★★★★
This tour took us on a walk we could have never found on our own, and Bryan gave many suggestions for other places we could try during our stay in Rome. I'll never overcook my pasta again!
★★★★★
Wonderful food and drinks. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable about the food but also the history of Trastevere. Highly recommend this tour, one of the best tours I've done!
★★★★★
Jasmine was fantastic. We learned a lot, made some great Fettuccine and Ravioli, and went home full! Well worth it.
★★★★★
We had Maria, she was excellent! Everyone in our group enjoyed all the food and Maria was knowledgeable since she also cooks. Be prepared to walk! Worth it!
★★★★★
Jasmine was so knowledgeable, fun and truly delightful. Great experience trying different Roman foods and cocktails. We all had a wonderful time!

Good variety of food, wine and culture. Just the right size group. We really enjoyed it!

Eat your way through Rome by daylight
No evening free, or rather keep nights for yourself? The market tour in Testaccio feeds you just
as well, with a pasta lunch, in the morning.
Testaccio Market and Food Tour
★ 4.9 · 313 reviews · 3.5 hours
Rather eat by daylight? Devour's morning walk crosses the river to Testaccio, the old working-class district where Roman offal cooking was born: 14 tastings at eight family-run spots, a long browse through Testaccio Market, and a full pasta lunch, starting at 10:30 AM.
The Twilight Trastevere Food Tour is the best-known food walk in Rome: almost 6,600 reviews, a
4.9 rating, and a reputation as the perfect first night in the city. Here is what you actually eat, what it costs
once you are there, and when a different tour makes more sense.
What the tour is, and what it isn't
Eating Europe runs the tour in small groups of up to 12. It is a walking dinner: you meet on Tiber Island,
cross into Trastevere and spend about four hours moving between family-run delis, pizzerias, bakeries, wine bars
and a trattoria, eating at each one. Stops change with the day and the season, but the shape stays the same:
aperitivo and street food first, a sit-down pasta course in the middle, gelato at the end. It is not a
sightseeing tour with snacks; the guide talks about Trastevere's history, but the food sets the route. And it
is not a pub crawl: the drinks are pairings, not refills.
Supplì, Rome's fried rice ball, is on almost every Trastevere food tour.
What it really costs
On Viator the tour is from about $121 per adult in 2026, with prices that move with the date and group size.
Eating Europe's own site starts at €94 for adults, €85 for ages 13 to 17 and €75 for ages 4 to
12, so the direct price is usually a little lower; Viator's version shows thousands of reviews in one place and
the same free cancellation up to 24 hours before. On the night, budget for a tip for the guide and any drinks
beyond the pairings. Because the tour is your dinner, it replaces a restaurant bill of perhaps €40 to
€60 a head in Trastevere, which narrows the real gap.
The honest small print: the name says twilight, but departures begin in the late afternoon,
so in summer most of the tour happens in daylight. Da Enzo al 29 and the ancient wine cellar at Spirito Divino
appear on selected departures only. And the tour is not for anyone with a severe food allergy; vegan, gluten-free
and kosher options are limited.
Twilight Trastevere or another tour?
For a first-timer who wants dinner, wine and orientation in one, the Twilight tour is the safe choice, and it
accepts children. If budget matters, The Tour Guy's evening tour gives you a three-course dinner for from $68,
though it meets in Piazza Farnese across the river. Wine lovers should look at Devour's Trastevere at Sunset,
with six drinks across five spots, adults only. If you would rather make the pasta than eat it at a trattoria,
Eating Europe's own pasta-making workshop runs in the same streets.
Some departures visit an ancient wine cellar beneath Trastevere.
Making the most of the evening
Eat a light lunch, wear shoes that handle cobblestones and arrive 15 minutes early on Tiber Island, up on the
island rather than down by the water. Pace yourself through the street food, because the pasta course comes late.
Ask the guide everything: where locals buy pizza, which trattorie are worth a return visit, how to spot real
gelato. Pin every stop on your phone; most guests go back to at least one.
Gelato closes the evening; the guide explains how to tell real gelato from the fake stuff.
Straight answers to what travelers ask most about the Twilight Trastevere Food Tour.
What is the Twilight Trastevere Food Tour?
It is Eating Europe's four-hour evening food walk in Rome. You meet on Tiber Island, cross into Trastevere and stop at six or seven family-run spots for street food, pizza, a sit-down pasta course, wine and gelato, in a group of no more than 12. It rates 4.9 from 6,598 reviews. See the tour.
How much does the Twilight Trastevere Food Tour cost?
On Viator it is from about $121 per adult in 2026, and the price varies with group size. Eating Europe's own site lists adults from €94, ages 13 to 17 from €85 and ages 4 to 12 from €75; under-4s go free but get no food. Tips are not included. See the full review.
Is the Twilight Trastevere Food Tour worth it?
For a first night in Rome, yes for most people: it is dinner, wine and a neighbourhood orientation in one, and almost all of its 6,598 reviews are five stars. It is not the cheapest option: The Tour Guy's evening tour with a three-course dinner is from $68. Compare them in the best Trastevere food tours.
What do you eat on the Twilight Trastevere Food Tour?
Typical tastings are supplì, burrata or buffalo mozzarella, cured meats and cheese, white pizza with porchetta, fried artichoke or zucchini, a pasta course of amatriciana or cacio e pepe, and gelato, with prosecco, a spritz, wine or beer. Stops vary by day and season. Details in what you eat.
Where does the Twilight Trastevere Food Tour start?
In Piazza San Bartolomeo all'Isola on Tiber Island, by the monument with the cross in the middle of the square. The meeting point is up on the island, not down by the river. Eating Europe asks you to use Google Maps rather than Apple Maps and to arrive 15 minutes early. The tour ends on Via Roma Libera in Trastevere.
What time does the twilight tour start?
Late afternoon to early evening, with several start times a day; pick one at checkout. Despite the name, summer departures begin in daylight and finish around dusk. Da Enzo and Spirito Divino feature on selected departures only, so check the listing if those two matter to you.
Do I need to eat dinner after the food tour?
No. With six or seven tastings and a pasta course, it is a full dinner, and reviewers repeat one tip above all: come hungry. Skip a big lunch, and do not book a restaurant for afterwards.
Can vegetarians or gluten-free travelers join?
Vegetarians, usually yes: add a note at booking. Eating Europe says vegan, gluten-free and kosher options may be limited, and the tour is not suitable for anyone with severe or life-threatening food allergies. Read food tours with dietary needs.
Can children do the Twilight Trastevere Food Tour?
Yes. Children 4 to 12 have their own ticket, teens 13 to 17 pay a youth rate, and under-4s join free without food. Several rival tours are adults-only. See Trastevere food tours with kids.
Eating Europe or Devour: which Trastevere tour is better?
Eating Europe's Twilight tour is longer, starts on Tiber Island and welcomes children. Devour's Trastevere at Sunset is cheaper (from $88), wine-led with six drinks, and adults-only. Read Eating Europe vs Devour.
Can I cancel the tour?
Yes. Every tour on this page can be cancelled for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time on Viator. Late arrivals and no-shows are not refunded, so leave time to find the meeting point.
Should I tip the food tour guide?
Tips are not included and never compulsory in Italy, but most guests tip a guide they enjoyed; around 10 percent of the ticket, or €5 to €10 per person, is a common guideline. Bring a little cash.
