This walking tour visits two distinctly Roman districts that face one another across the Tiber River. Despite the fact that Testaccio and Trastevere’s authentic appeal attracts an increasing number of visitors, the areas are still free from the larger crowds that inundate the centro storico, thus offering an unhindered view of how locals shop, eat, and use their public spaces. The tour begins in Testaccio and visits traditional food shops, as well as the new Testaccio Market, home to stalls selling fabulous fresh and prepared foods. After grazing through Testaccio and getting to know its traditions and specialties, the tour heads across the river to Trastevere for a sweet finale. Rate excludes the cost of food and beverages consumed during the tour. Please note, the itinerary includes quite a bit of walking.
