Carpe Diem Tours — Attraction in Rome

Our tour was exceptional. We started our street food tour at 1800 in 93°F heat, no breeze and a blazing sun. Erica welcomed us all and let us meet each other. Instantly feeling comfortable. Some had dietary and mobile restrictions, she was attentive to it all and put us on the same page. We walked 50 feet and started with a sandwich at Schiaccia Passera and a drink a perfect start. Our tour continued to delectable food choices and more drink! Every place provided some element of cooling. In the midst of that, Erica took our minds off of the heat, with stories and laughter and just outright fun. She listened to our stories and chimed in. It was like walking with a friend that lives here and wanted to show us her favorite places to go. She loves what she does as living here and food and all things Italian, especially as a Florentinian. You are charming and vivacious Erica and we all had a great time. My sister and I are meeting two tour goers for lunch who we now consider friends. Thanks Erica- you...

If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! Our food tour through Trastevere with Smit wasn’t just a highlight of our trip to Rome — it was one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. From the very first moment, Smit was warm, engaging, and effortlessly knowledgeable. He didn’t just guide us through the charming streets of Trastevere — he brought them to life.

Each stop on the tour was a perfect balance of history, culture, and mouthwatering food. It was clear that Smit had curated the experience with care and a genuine love for the local community. He shared stories, answered every question with enthusiasm, and made everyone in our small group feel like a friend rather than a tourist.

By the end, we weren’t just full of incredible food — we were full of appreciation for the rich culture and the joy Smit brings to his work. If you're lucky enough to book a tour with him, prepare for something truly special. Thank you, Smit, for making Rome...

I recently took part in a pasta-making class, and it was such a fun and rewarding experience! The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and explained each step clearly, from mixing and kneading the dough to rolling and shaping different pasta styles. What I really enjoyed was how hands-on the class was—everyone got to try making their own pasta rather than just watching.

The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, perfect for both beginners and people with some cooking experience. The instructor also shared helpful tips on cooking the pasta properly and pairing it with sauces, which made the lesson feel practical and easy to apply at home.

By the end of the class, we all sat down to enjoy the pasta we made, and it was absolutely delicious. I left with new skills, recipes, and a lot more confidence in making fresh pasta on my own.

Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun activity, whether you love cooking or just want to try...
