Churches of Rome & Cooking Class

6 hours Piazza Barberini
€175 per person
The experience

The tour

Two of Rome's deepest traditions — its sacred architecture and its cucina — combined into a single day. The route starts at Piazza Barberini and moves through six of the city's greatest churches by private electric tuk-tuk, with a cooking class at Rome in a Bite woven into the middle of the day rather than tagged on at the end. The first half takes in Santa Maria Maggiore, San Giovanni in Laterano, and Santa Maria in Trastevere. Then a pause for the cooking class — welcome aperitivo, two hours making fresh fettuccine and tiramisù from scratch, wine throughout. Then back on the tuk-tuk for Sant'Andrea della Valle, the Pantheon, and St. Peter's Basilica to close. It's a long day, and a full one. Rome's churches have been standing for centuries — they can wait while you eat.
The route

Tour stops

  1. 1
    Piazza Barberini
    Starting point of the tour. Named after the powerful Barberini family, the square is anchored by Bernini's Triton Fountain — a fitting overture to a day of baroque and sacred architecture.
  2. 2
    Santa Maria Maggiore
    One of Rome's four papal basilicas, with 5th-century mosaics that have survived completely intact.
  3. 3
    San Giovanni in Laterano
    The oldest papal basilica in the world — and Rome's official cathedral.
  4. 4
    Santa Maria in Trastevere
    One of the oldest Christian places of worship in Rome, in the heart of the city's most authentic neighbourhood.
  5. 5
    Cooking class - Via dei Banchi Vecchi 108
    The midpoint of the day — and the edible one. Welcome aperitivo, followed by two hours making fresh fettuccine and tiramisù from scratch. Wine included throughout. You make it, you eat it.
  6. 6
    Sant'Andrea della Valle
    Baroque church with the second tallest dome in Rome — the one Puccini chose for the opening act of Tosca.
  7. 7
    Pantheon
    Built in 125 AD as a temple to all the gods of ancient Rome, still perfectly intact — the oldest unreinforced concrete dome ever built, and it has never been surpassed.
  8. 8
    Basilica di San Pietro
    The largest Christian basilica in the world, a Renaissance masterpiece at the heart of Vatican City. Save some time here — it earns it.
