Review of Rome’s private craft beer walk, with five tastings, Italian snacks, Trastevere stops, guide tips, value, and drawbacks.

“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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 9 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $100

Review of Rome’s private craft beer tour through Peroni, Trastevere, local breweries, seven tastings, snacks, guides, and practical value.

“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…”

Explore Pigneto and Torpignattara street art, taste local craft beer, and enjoy a private Rome walking tour with an aperitivo.

“We have done street art tours in London and Vancouver through airbnb experiences and both were fabulous, so we were excited to do another in Rome. Our original tour with airbnb experiences was cancelled by the guide, so we looked to GYG for a replacement. Our guide was great at communicating with us about location and meeting time. She asked if we could meet earlier in the day and our schedule accommodated the time change so that was okay. The Pigneto neighborhood is charming, but I don't know that I would have chosen it for this tour. The street art is mostly of famous Italian actors and there aren't many…”
