Great time with Roberta We were in Civitavecchia for a day before leaving on a cruise and decided to take this tour. Roberta met us at our hotel and took us on walk through the city. She had so much historical information to share with us and was very enthusiastic about it. We had a very nice day with her and enjoyed our stop for gelato and a delicious charcuterie and glass of wine.

Misleading Roberta, our tour guide, was very nice, engaging, and quick to smile. The tour name is a little misleading. If you are a History Buff and want to know about Civitavecchia's history, the five tribes, development of the Port, Roman influences and things of that nature, it's great. However if you think it's about a walking tour that includes just restaurants, bistros, cafes, and other eating/dining experiences this is not it. The tour included a stop for gelato and at the end, a final stop at "MyLord" restaurant which includes a wonderful, boxed charcuterie. Food Tasty Walking Tour - no, History - yes.

Fantastic cookery class in Civitavecchia My husband and I didn’t fancy going into Rome on our recent cruise as it was so hot, so we decided to book this fantastic cookery class. Federico was a wonderful teacher and host who accommodated our dietary needs (that I had forgotten to tell him about before hand) without any fuss. We made some delicious dishes including an authentic bolognaise sauce, gnocchi, grilled eggplant, tomato and mozzarella and tiramisu in his wonderful cool kitchen. His lovely partner, Tracy made us feel very welcome too. Tracy makes bags and bracelets and let us choose one each. I choose a lovely bright pink bag to use for the beach - the colour really pops! And is a great reminder of the time we spent with them. If we’re ever in Civitavecchia again we’ll definitely book another class! Thank you Federico and Tracy!

Time well spent in an awesome little town. The tour was wonderful. Roberta did an excellent job showing us around and telling us about Civitavecchia’s history. Small personal tours are definitely the way to go. Thanks again Roberta.

A pleasant way to pass a few hours The guide did as best possible , just don’t expect much as there is not much to see. The tasting was limited to one tasting experience, which was really good.

Fantastic Tour Alessia did a fabulous job! She showed us all the major highlights of Civitavecchia and explained everything so well answering all of our questions. We stopped for pastries and cappuccino and had a fabulous sampling of wine, cheeses, meats, and olives (enough that it was lunch) at a cute café. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Learn, walk and eat Since I have been to Rome before, I wanted to try something local and cultural. I was not disappointed! Roberta was friendly, personable and knowledgeable. She was fun to spend the morning with, sharing stories and the history of Civitavecchia with such pride and excitement. Our group was small, only three of us, so we got to talk more about our experiences. Enjoying a morning cafe and pastry and ending with a charcuterie plate. I think we had a more personalized tour, like walking with friends. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Civitavecchia food and history tour, instead of Rome for a day We had a lovely afternoon with Alessia! She gave us a great history of Civitavecchia and took us to a few great food spots. I highly recommend this tour for a relaxing day with a little history and food.

Nice Personalized Cooking Class This was a very enjoyable 5 hour experience! We fist walked through a very busy market, where tour guide Massimiliano stopped to purchase a few items for the cooking class. We then went on to a little restuarant where Owner/Chef Patrice walked us through a hands on, multi-course lunch preparation, making everything from scratch. Mass served as our interpreter and offered insights into Patrice (who does not speak English) and her business.

Wonderful Adventure Fabulous time getting to see the city and cooking/eating great food. Our guide was wonderful in his knowledge of the local area, the Italian culture and in providing us the right level of information. He made it fun and real. Cooking class was a blast - truly a great experience.

We booked the market tour and cooking class for our time in Civitavecchia, and it was by far the best tour of our entire trip! Massimiliano was such an amazing guide – from the moment we met him he made us feel so welcomed like we were old friends. He showed us around town and took us to the market to buy some supplies before heading to Giuliana’s restaurant for our cooking class. We loved getting to spend time in the kitchen with Giuliana and Max. We learned some great recipes and had a lot of fun getting to talk with them while we cooked. Afterwards, we enjoyed the delicious meal together before heading back to our meeting point. I can’t say enough great things about this tour because the people who led it were so warm and welcoming. We truly felt like part of their Italian family and would love to come back in the future!

Our favorite Tours Ever! The Civitavecchia City Tour by locals Salvatore & led by Paola is Outstanding! Civitavecchia is Beautiful & hundreds of years old. The Highlight of my wife’s vacation was the Cooking Tour. We got to go to the local market, pick the fresh ingredients from the vendors and then prepare a real Italian meal with an Italian Chef -Momma! We did this in the kitchen of their Wonderful local restaurant. This was truly a Delight & not to be missed!! Magnifico!! 5 star Day!

We experienced this exceptional culinary excursion as a group of 2 couples. Every minute of the 5 hours we spent with our guide, Massimiliano, and our Chef, Julianna, was filled with wonderful conversation, learning, laughter, delicious tasting food, and, in a single word, FUN!
From the walk through the market viewing and buying the diversity of ingredients for the meal, to learning cooking techniques in the RC La Nona restaurant kitchen, to sitting down to toast our accomplishments, was pure enjoyment.
We highly recommend it!

We went on this tour on September 30, 2022 with tour guide Massimoliano Vanza as our guide. He took us on a market tour in Civitavecchia where he purchased items that we were to prepare. Our next stop was RC La Nona Restaurant and Catering. We were met by Juliana, the owner and chef of the restaurant. We then donned our chef’s aprons and sat down for some pastry and proceco. We were then led into the kitchen where we began to prepare our meal. During our time there we prepared veal saltimbocca, gnocchi, and tiramisu. Juliana was wonderful throughout the entire event. Her friendly attitude and playful joking about how we were working on the ingredients was delightful. Massimaliano was great explaining each step and translating Italian to English and back. The whole experience was wonderful and I would highly recommend this for a very enjoy tour.

Delightful cruise excursion option
While our cruise ship was in Civitavecchia for the day we decided to try this cooking class. Roberta met us at the port bus stop and provided an interesting walking tour of the historic sites just outside the port. We then accompanied her to the local city market to pick up items for our lunch. We went to Patrizia’s restaurant where we were given aprons, introduced to Patrizia, and started helping her make our lunch. Roberta stayed to translate. Everyone was so nice and it was a lot of fun. We enjoyed our lunch of fresh made bread, 3 kinds of pasta, veal scalippini, apple cake and wine. It was delicious!

I cannot express how much my husband and I appreciated this experience. Olga, who picked us up and took us to the market was friendly and engaging. Our chef, Matteo, was more than willing to accommodate my vegetarianism (and even provided vegan options if needed) and was able to alter the menu on the fly. He was patient and attentive, kind and social. Since it was just the two of us, it was like having our own private tutor. It was wonderful to learn about Italian life from people who live there. I highly recommend that others experience this themselves.

Did this event today with our guide, Olga. She did an amazing job navigating us through the market and the streets of Civitavecchia while providing insight and historical facts
We did our class at Dolce & Salato a great little restaurant in the old part of the city. The Chef and staff were so friendly and relaxed. The food we prepared was delicious and truly an Italian experience
Looking forward to doing this again.

**An Unforgettable Culinary Journey with Natalina**

Our market tour and cooking class with Natalina from Incitur was absolutely magical! With just four of us in our intimate group, we received incredibly personalized attention throughout the entire experience.

Natalina began by sharing fascinating stories about Civitavecchia’s rich history, setting the perfect cultural backdrop for our adventure. The local market visit was a feast for the senses – we learned about selecting the freshest ingredients while Natalina shared insider tips about Italian cooking traditions.

The highlight was definitely the hands-on cooking session. The restaurant chef graciously opened his kitchen to us, patiently teaching us the art of making perfect gnocchi from scratch and the secrets behind an authentic tiramisu.

Dining on our homemade creations in the restaurant’s beautiful setting was the perfect finale. The intimate atmosphere, combined with the pride of eating food we’d prepared ourselves, made this an experience we’ll treasure forever.

Natalina’s passion for her craft and genuine care for her guests shone through every moment. This tour perfectly blends culture, education, and pure enjoyment. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic taste of Italian life!

**5 stars – A truly exceptional experience!**

The market shopping and cooking experience excursion in Civitavecchia that we took on 9/18/2025 was one of our favorites of our 16 days we spent vacationing in Europe. Natalia (our guide that picked us up a the cruise port) was knowledgeable about the city and even gave us a ‘free tour’ including thorough explanations of the buildings that we passed and history of the city when on our way to the market and restaurant. She really involved us in the food shopping at the market. She was very professional and fluent in English. Mateo was our chef at the restaurant – he was very patient and good an explaining the steps involved in cooking the meal and encouraged us all to participate in its preparation. The meal turned out great! The only room for improvement I would recommend would be to have more wine flowing – we each only had ~1/2 glass in our group of 7 people.
