DAY 2:                                      ROME

After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, meet your driver who will take you to the meeting point with your local foodie guide. Set off on a delightful walking tour through bustling food markets, traditional grocery stores, and inviting gelato shops across Campo de’ Fiori, Trastevere, and the Jewish Ghetto. Savor a slice of freshly baked, crispy pizza bianca filled with delicate slices of mortadella, and try a classic Roman supplì-a golden, deep-fried risotto ball with tomato sauce and gooey mozzarella. Pasta is also on the menu, along with seasonal specialties of Roman Jewish cuisine, such as carciofo alla giudia (deep-fried artichoke) or fried zucchini flowers. Be sure to leave room for dessert with authentic artisan gelato.

Afterward, rejoin your driver and head to the Vatican area, where you’ll meet your expert guide for an inspiring tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Square. Explore treasures such as the Gallery of Tapestries, the Gallery of Maps, and Raphael’s Rooms before reaching the Sistine Chapel, home to Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes.
