Luxe Associates Travel specialises in private tours of the city of Rome and beyond, offering both established tours and bespoke experiences. I went on the Culinary Walk round Rome, an established tour which focuses on Rome's incredible food heritage, with a tasting experience in a local market, a specialised deli, and a great trattoria - with coffee and ice-cream along the way. We were very impressed with our guide, Amy, who demonstrated her love of Rome and her knowledge of ancient history, which was brilliantly paired with some exquisite food samples that underlined local traditions. Starting in front of the Pantheon, we also visited an historic food market tucked away in an ancient square, and met the family who has been running it for generations, sampling wine, oil and fresh produce here, before trying cold-cuts and cheeses in an upmarket deli, and finishing up with a fantastic pasta lunch in a stunning trattoria off the beaten track. Amy is fantastic company and really communicates her love of ancient and modern Rome. Highly recommended. read more
