Kid-Friendly Food Tours in Rome

If you are a foodie family planning a trip to Italy we got you covered! We offer kid-friendly food tours in Rome that will suit the young, the old and everyone in between. Our kid-friendly food tours in Rome are also delicious ways to discover some culinary culture during your Italian vacation and try specialty foods that you may not discover on your own. Lastly, our private foodie tours are a great chance to teach your children about where food comes from, and how to try new things.

What to expect in this kid-friendly private tour of Rome?

Italian food, culture, history and a lot of fun! This experiential tour includes a behind the scenes look at the terrific 150-year-old market, several stops at various vendors with a bit of history, architecture and fun facts thrown in as well. You will discover the family-run bakeries, old-fashioned corner stores, countless ice cream parlors, and fresh produce stands along the trail while sampling tempting street food.

From ancient history and fine art to a booming food scene, Rome has it all – and mixing it up is the best way to enjoy the Eternal City. Feast your eyes on this walking tour, which reveals the amazing flavors and culture of Rome. Stroll along the cobblestone lanes and piazzas of what was once the Capital of the Ancient World. Explore beautiful spots by eating your way through the Campo de Fiori market streets. Learn the storied history behind the buildings, fountains, and piazzas that you pass with an expert local guide on hand answering any of your questions.

However, the best thing in this family adventure is the hands-on experience. This tour takes you to locally owned specialty shops and historical markets where each vendor is a true artist who loves to share its craft. Combining a taste of local culture with an exploration of its food, we offer junior foodies and their parents too an authentic behind the scenes learning experience.

Who will be Your Tour Guide?

You will experience the delicious side of the Eternal City and some key sites in the company of one of our passionate guides. Your private guide won’t only take you to our personally vetted specialty spots, but can fill you in on how Roman street food is made and its history.

All of our kid-friendly tour guides are also culinary experts who beyond their infectious enthusiasm for the foods of Rome share their encyclopedic knowledge of the city they live in and love.

Why Choosing this Tour?

Undoubtedly, art and history are essential to an authentic Roman experience, but if you want to go beyond traditional sightseeing why not try a food tour instead? Hence, fancy a morning stroll with us celebrating the city culinary scene plus some must-sees. Our kid-friendly food tours in Rome combine some of the city’s most authentic and historic neighborhoods with yummy treats along the way.

Team up with local life. Your guide will introduce you to our favorite street food stalls and specialty culinary stores. Our guides have fostered relationships with the vendors, who make this food scene unique, and this allows rare peeks into bakers’ ovens and chats with the locals.

The bottom line? Our private food tours in Rome are a unique and engaging way to get your children interested in Italy’s food culture. Moreover, they will be so entertained that will not ever notice they are learning!

Good to Know: Our kid-friendly food tours in Rome are offered Monday through Saturday morning because food markets close for the day at about 2pm. The same goes for public holidays when food markets and eateries close.

Bonus: The Rome food scene is overwhelming and we do not want to limit your choices. Therefore, rather than offering preset foods at each stop you can try the food YOU crave!

Highly personalized service: This is a private family tour curated to your preferences not to mention that each itinerary is tailored to the tastes of the guests. Because of this during the booking process, you will have the chance to tell our Italian-based team how we can customize it to accommodate your food allergies, dietary needs, or other special requirements.

TESTIMONIALS

Hi Ann,
My apologies for being slow to follow up. I am finally over my jet lag! Just wanted to thank you for your help in setting up our tours in Rome, Florence, and Venice. We had an extraordinary time. All of your guides were very knowledgeable, and Vincenzo, Elisabetta, and Emilio were really exceptional. Vincenzo and Elisabetta in particular knew how to engage and entertain our ten-year-old son, and their passion for history and architecture really left an impression on all of us. Would you please pass our regards along to them? Do let me know, too, whether it would be helpful to provide some more formal feedback. Thanks and regards

Please do share this with Ann. We learned about Nancy Aiello Tours through Ciao Bambino on line while searching for kid friendly guides to Rome. We had about 6 to choose from and I chose yours after reading the reviews.
Ann was absolutely indispensable in planning our trip. She was very friendly and not only welcomed our questions, but answered ALL of them promptly and in an exceptionally organized manner. She is very efficient and you are lucky to have her on your team. She could not have made planning our time in Rome easier than she did. She even helped me choose a hotel. I asked for recommendations for hotels with pools knowing that my children would want to relax after sightseeing. These are apparently hard to find in Rome but she suggested several. I would just like to add our hotel to your list of hotels with pools in Rome. The Crown Plaza Hotel at St. Peter’s. While it was an American Hotel off the beaten path, it was luxurious and very accommodating especially for the price. We took both public transportation and cabs to get to the city and the Vatican.
Lucia was also an excellent tour guide in Rome and we enjoyed being with her every day. Her knowledge of the city was expansive and almost unbelievable. We all appreciated her laid back manner and her efforts in always trying to engage our boys.
I will definitely recommend your company to others traveling abroad especially those with children. Thank you for your services and giving me the opportunity to write this review.

Thanks for your email, now that we are back in the states I am happy to share some feedback.
Overall experience: terrific, would highly recommend
Booking process: most grateful for thorough, timely responses and attention to detail. felt completely well prepared for our tours before we left.
Tour experience: simply amazing. made all the difference in our trip to have participated in these tours. cinzia was a MARVELOUS tour guide; not only was her expertise astounding and her storytelling riveting, but she did a simply phenomenal job of catering to our group, which included some adults who were very interested in the subject matter, two four-year-olds with limited understanding of what they were seeing (and jet lag, and tired little legs), and some distracted parents! she met every single one of us at our own level, with grace and good humor, and made rome so magical for us all. our kids gave her big hugs at the end our last tour and later told us they missed her. i was amazed after we got home to hear my son recounting the stories she shared with us, and for my daughter to be able to point out symbols and images we had learned about at the vatican museums. cinzia was just wonderful and i cannot have imagined our trip without her wonderful guidance!
Would strongly recommend nancy aiello tours to family and friends, and will look into you again should we book more travel!
Came across nancy aiello tours through google, was encouraged by tripadvisor reviews.
Thank you again so very much and please send our best wishes and gratitude to cinzia!
Best,
