We learned so much from Antonella and had a wonderful time. She was very friendly and helpful, and answered all the questions we had. Antonella was also so patient and encouraging with my 90yo father!

Everything we tasted on this tour was divine--you should really schedule a food tour with Context at the very beginning of your trip because you will want to revisit the places and the delicious things you tasted, and your guide will be full of great recommendations for restaurants and other things to try.  Gina was incredibly knowledgeable and her specialization is actually as a historian of food which adds a fascinating layer to her tour.  We really enjoyed starting in a beautiful coffee shop and tasting incredible pastries while Gina explained our itinerary and the different stops we would make.  We wandered through the Jewish quarter which was beautiful, but sadly one of the planned stops was closed.  Next we crossed the river into Trastevere and stopped at a delicious bakery known for incredible biscotti.  The pastries and biscotti were amazing--but we waited for a very long time.  Other tours approached the bakery and had preordered items so they did not need to wait, which clearly would have worked better than having to wait in the line.  I would not have wanted to miss out on tasting these items, but the wait was really too long to make sense and in retrospect, we should have just moved on.  Our next stop was for incredible rice balls--we had never tried these and they were so delicious they could have been my last meal!  Artisanal ice cream followed and our final stop was a lovely restaurant where Gina arranged a table and a place for us to try local meats and cheeses.  We were not able to try a stuffed sandwich shop Gina had planned because we ran out of time, but Gina did give us lots of information about other places to visit, too.  This tour would benefit from the headsets like the Vatican tour we had with Context.  When you are walking, you get separated from the guide and we could not all hear what she was saying.  Gina is also quite a quiet speaker, so I think the headsets would have been an improvement in terms of learning about the dishes and the history.  Overall, you gotta love a food tour!

Paolo was terrific with our group and incredibly knowledgeable about the Vatican and the history of the art and architecture.  My three twenty-something kids were fascinated by him, and he is currently teaching college level students in Rome, so he definitely understood his audience.  The lines and crowds are somewhat intimidating, but Paolo did a great job using the time in the line to give us background information about what we would see.  The audio and headsets are indispensable and necessary for a busy place like the Vatican.  I cannot imagine tackling a place like the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel without a guide--there is too much material and information that you would completely miss without a knowledgeable person to lead the way.  This tour is a must for visitors to Rome.  My kids have never been before, so it was certainly a highlight!
