What people are saying about Centro Storico

It was a fun and relaxing atmosphere and the people on the tour were fun and engaging. Time split evenly between Rome and Trastevere restaurants. We visited eight locations and actually enjoyed all of the food/wine provided. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable on the dishes they we were being provided. A range of “sit down” to “take out” locations all quite unique with a nice local flavor.
