What To Expect
This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet Chiara at the Testaccio market to discover local ingredients. Your market tour will start with a warm cup of cappuccino in a typical roman bar! After which you will explore the market with Chiara and visit all her favorite vendors.
