Hi, I'm Lorena a Brazilian in love with Italy and Rome. Since 2014 when I came to live in Rome I knew I would never disconnect from this place. I love to walk the streets of Rome, study, and know the corners and stories of the places, and decided to share this passion with Brazilians or Portuguese speakers. I graduated in tourism and I have been working in this area for more than 20 years.

Tour description

👉 Did you know that Rome has a pyramid?

Yes! And we're not talking about Egypt — we're talking about Testaccio, one of the city's most authentic, popular, and history-filled neighborhoods.

Away from the classic tourist routes, Testaccio is the heart of true Rome: a working-class neighborhood, intense, full of identity, where much of traditional Roman cuisine was born. It was here that iconic dishes made with simple ingredients, creativity, and lots of flavor emerged — the famous Roman cucina povera.

Let's visit the Testaccio Market, one of the city's most authentic markets, where you will have the opportunity to taste typical Roman dishes, prepared as the locals eat them daily.

🍝 During the tour, the average food cost is about €15 per person, paid directly at the places visited — an accessible, delicious, and genuine experience.

If you want to discover a different Rome, away from the crowds, through flavors, stories, and traditions, Testaccio is the right place. And this tour is the perfect invitation to experience Rome like a Roman.
