“My daughter and I had booked the olive oil tasting from 5pm to 6pm and then this artisan beer and cheese tasting from 7pm to 8pm Since we were the only people, Francesca did a continuous tour from olive oil to beer and cheese tasting She allowed my daughter to substitute the beer for wine (my daughter doesn’t really like beer and I don’t really like cheese - but admit the cheese samplings were amazing) and we had an intimate tasting for both It was simply amazing!!

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 39 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $114

Start beneath the Palazzo Venezia balcony, then follow a private guide such as Silvia, Orso, or Alex from central Rome to Trastevere. Expect five shared beer tastings, Italian snacks, local history, and flexible afternoon or evening departures, with some room for changes if venues are busy.

“Our total beer sampling was one 1/4 pint of Peroni, one can of choice at a bottle shop and a shared 5 glass flight at Balldin brewery. Our tour was pushed from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm on a Saturday night, and the two pubs we tried to get into were slammed. No advance reservations or bookings with the proprietors had been arranged. They could have cared less who we were or who we were with. A very long walk between stop 1 and 2. Guide, Sylvia was engaging but really did not know enough about beer. Any other tour we have been on the establishments expected us and greeted…”

“Tuvimos la actividad de cerveza artesanal. Nos tocó suerte y el guía fue Julio, el dueño de la oficina de turismo, y fue una maravillosa tarde. Julio fue súper agradable desde el inicio, nos hizo caminar por Roma, y mientras nos cambiábamos de lugar nos explicaba historia antigua de cerveza, cómo se producía antes, cómo se produjo acá, quién ganó (ganó el vino) e incluso nos explicó detalles de roma y su arquitectura que no eran parte del tour pero le dieron un toque extra. Fue una tarde muy agradable. Se sintió muy bien caminar y salir con un romano por lugares más locales y no tan turísticos. Al finalizar…”
