Civitavecchia food and walking tour, so glad we did it! - We were in a small group of five, so it made it easy to hear our amazing guide, Laura Amato, as we walked through the streets of the city. This is our first time staying, so we appreciated hearing all about it's history. The food stops to sample local cuisine were all delicious. Laura was very knowledgeable and passionate about her city and we appreciated all she shared with us.

Walking food tour, Civitavecchia. - This was the best tour that we had in Italy. Our guide was fantastic, lots of information. Stopped for some fantastic food, biscotti, pizza, gelato, and a big charcuterie board with wine. Visited a huge famers market. I highly recommend this tour for all ages.

Must do in Civitavecchia! - Absolutely loved our tour with Rafaella!! She had a sparkling personality and loved the history of the city. From the gelato shop, the pizza break or even our final aperol stop the food and company felt more like you were apart of her family!!! She gave us tips to go for dinner but we were so full from the last stop!!
If we were in civitavecchia again, we would definitely tour with her!

Walk and eat. The guide was very nice. - Not that hard of a walk. Not a whole lot to see. Mostly a taste of the foods and watching the locals.

Civitavecchia Food and Cultural Walk - We are very happy to share our five star review of our guide, Matteo, who led us on a cultural walk and food tour of Civitavecchia, a coastal town near Rome. After meeting Matteo near our cruise ship, we enjoyed a classic breakfast of nonna and “cornetto”, a croissant filled with various creams, which we enjoyed with cappuccino and expresso. We then visited an open fresh market where the locals buy fresh produce, meats and seafood on a daily basis. We bought some delicious peaches and bananas and then proceeded to a lunch called “aperitivo” consisting of local meats, cheeses, olives, crackers and bread served on a wooden board. The food tour was capped by a visit to a popular gelato shop, Maritozzi, established 50 plus years ago. Throughout our walking tour Matteo pointed out the architectural and historic landmarks of Civitavecchia. We are particularly interested in churches and Matteo went out of his way to take us to several churches that were open that morning. Overall this was a unique learning experience for us and a meaningful, unforgettable introduction to the foods of Civitavecchia. We highly recommend it!

Civitavecchia is a wonderful town, great option if you’ve seen Rome already - Cute little town on the sea. We arrived via cruise ship….it was both disembark/embark day with 5 ships in port…mass chaos. Took the local shuttle to the meting point to meet our guide Laura, who was amazing. Walk around, area information, stops to snack (hint: don’t eat breakfast!) Nice to have a more relaxed pace day with a small group after larger tours and crowded cities elsewhere on our vacation. Civitavecchia is a gem!

Great option for half day in Rome!! - AMAZING !!! Laura was professional, knowledgeable and a joy! Good things to say about the entire tour. I only wish we would have had free time outside of eating to enjoy a shop or two. Food was in abundance!! WONDERFUL!!

A walking and taste tour of Civitavecchia - Our private tour with Omar was great. He shared lots of history and took us to his favorite spots for Biscottini, espressos, croissants, pizza, wine and charcuterie, and we finished off with great gelato. Omar is a very personal and leads a great tour.
