The Aperitivo Ritual Tour in Rome

We had a wonderful experience with Eric on our Aperitivo Tour. His knowledge and experience as a native of Italy and as a sommelier made the experience that much more enjoyable. The aperitivos and wines we tasted were delicious. I highly recommend Local Aromas!!

My Mom and I booked the Aperitivo Tour and had a fantastic experience with Jamila. She was extremely knowledgeable as a food anthropologist and the locations we went to offered delicious drinks and food. We both came away with a new respect for the Italian culture and would highly recommend booking with Local Aromas.

It was fun, educational, delicious and the girls were absolutely adorable! They were fun and explained everything about the culture. I really enjoyed all of it! Will definitely do it again! We went 9/25 and 9/27

My husband and I had a wonderful Aperitivo Experience in Rome! We were treated to three unique experiences during our tour by our lovely and well-educated guide. We were able to explore different neighborhoods, styles of food and drink, and learn more about the history of the ritual of 'Aperitivo'. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try something new during their visit.

The aperitivo tour was a nice way to enjoy some Rome food and drink spots that we likely would not have found had we not taken the tour. I recommend this tour to anyone looking for just that!

Our Aperitivo Tour with Bene was the best! She was so fun and knowledgeable, Which made the delicious tastings even better! Highly recommended!

WOW!! We had an amazing experience with Local Aromas, which included 3 private cooking experiences, a farmers market tour, and an aperitivo experience in Rome. Each experience exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed learning a lot about food, culture, and life in Italy. The conversations with chef Carla and our guide Benny were amazing. Especially the storytelling and laughter!! I still can’t decide who is funnier, Carla or Benny!! They both made me laugh a lot!! It felt like hanging out with friends and family. And the food and wine at every experience was amazing, too!! We also brought home lots of tasty souvenirs from the farmers market. Lucky for me, I'm back in Italy in 7 months, and already signed up for the Cheese and Wine Tasting experience with Local Aromas. I can't wait!!

Found Local Aromas on tik tok and fell in love with the sisters. Booked the 20 min consultation - was super helpful. My husband and I spent 12 days and 5 in Rome. Did the usual tour of Vatican and golf cart but non compared to Local Aromas. Booked 3 private tour with them! And each one was great. They were so helpful in meeting our needs (day, time, dietary issues), and great with communication and setting up tour. Totally worth the money. 1st did olive oil tasting and private home cooked dinner. Got to explore at different part of Rome. Benny was so warm and welcoming. Learned so much about olive oils and are forever changed. Never buy in plastic. Worth spending the money on good oil. Plus learning the different spice levels. Was very impressed. Clara cooked a simple but perfectly delicious meal. Getting to sit in someone’s dinning room enjoying a home cooked meal over wine, felt so warm and amazing. Felt like was at friends apt for dinner. This was the best part of our two weeks in Italy. 2nd did street food tour with focus around the Jewish ghetto and non dairy. Guide was warm and friendly. She knew so much and really provided a deep understanding of the history and melding of food with the times. Was great way to have private tour as it really was perfectly customized. More than enough food. Did it mid late afternoon. Instead of dinner we went back to a few of the shops our guide showed us along the way and picked up a few bites. Plus a stop at local grocery store we ended up having a picnic in bed after a long day walking Rome. 3rd was the aperitivo tour. Great way to experience the chill and fun daily activity. Was wonderful have a guide that was easy to talk to and understand local culture. Perfect evening to explore the local spots and feel like was out with a girlfriend. The mix of different pairings was nice to really understand what spirits and small bites like best. Can’t recommend this company more. Worth every penny.

We did several foodie experiences with Local Aromas in Rome, Florence and Tuscany, and had an amazing time on each tour. We sampled incredible food and drinks, learned so much, and made so many new friends. I cannot recommend Local Aromas enough, and can't wait for more experiences on my next trip!

Absolutely outstanding tour! Amazing experience with fabulous food and the most charming, friendly and knowledgeable guide! Thank you Benedetta!!! Highly recommend

What a memorable experience with Local Aromas! Beni, our guide, was wonderful and engaging and gave us new insight into Rome history and culture, and especially the food! Highly highly recommend!!

Jamila was great! We did a Aparitivo Tour with our daughters. Great way to learn about Rome and Italian food and culture. We went to 3 places and tried some foods at each as well as one specific drink at each.
