Highlights

St. Angelo Bridge - Ponte Sant’Angelo, also known as pons Aelius (Helios Bridge), pons Hadriani (Hadrian’s Bridge) or Castello Bridge, is a bridge that connects Piazza di Ponte S. Angelo to the Vatican Lungotevere, in Rome, in the Ponte and Borgo districts . It was built in Rome in 134 by the emperor Hadrian, designed by a certain Demetrianus, to connect his mausoleum to the left bank. It was built in peperino and covered in travertine and had three arches, which were accessed via ramps from the shore. The ramps were in turn supported by three smaller arches on the left bank and two on the right bank, towards Hadrian’s mausoleum, which were destroyed in 1893 during the construction of the river banks and replaced by modern arches. The street level had high sidewalks on the sides equipped with travertine balustrades.

Worth trying if you are in Trastevere - A very nice and evocative place, the girl who followed us could see that she loves her job, very competent in explaining the wines and selective in choosing them for her restaurant, sociable and made you feel at ease, I highly recommend

He - We took the boat tour of the Tiber and later did the tasting. If you make this plan, don't have expectations from the boat, you don't really know much and the comments aren't good either. The boat is a good taxi, but nothing more. However, we rate this experience 5 stars because the wine tasting was magnificent. Ginebra, our host, was very friendly and passionate, she made us feel at home. We tried a wide variety of wines, cheeses, appetizers and jams, exquisitely prepared and selected. Ginebra made the experience very special, she took her time to explain and let us try each of the things. Thanks Geneva. If you are in Rome don't miss this incredible experience ❤️

Tiber River Hop On Hop Off Cruise - All thanks to our licensed local guide Sophie, who offered us a customized trip of the Rome Boat Tiber River Hop On Hop Off Cruise. This memorable sojourn includes exclusive food tasting and wine pairing in a 1st-century AD Roman cistern in downtown Trastevere. We thoroughly enjoyed the local Italian cuisine paired with the selection of premium wines. What’s more! We also took the boat ride to the Tiber Island from Castel Sant Angelo, admiring some heritage monuments en route. At the Fabullus Winery, we were delighted with the authentic Italian food balanced with seasoned wines. Kudos to FabullusRome and English-speaking live guide Sophie for arranging this entire life-changing tour!

Enjoying Italian wine - The wine tasting was a memorable experience. The hostess is very sweet and welcoming, she makes sure you enjoy the experience. I not only learned about Italian wines but discovered their taste, aroma and texture. The ride in the cruise is not so good, the boats are old and not much to see.

Great food and wine experience. Skip boat - The wine and food pairing at Fabbulus Wine Cellar was amazing. The host was wonderful. Wine and food was great too. I would go back to there in a second. The boat ride was not quite as I expected. Very short. Most disappointing was the conflicting messages. The Viator reservation indicated to board boat at 5pm. The last boat was at 6pm. The agency that they worked with for wine experience sent a reservation at 5pm and called to tell us we were late and we're going to miss the wine and food experience. We worked it out. But a bit frustrating. I have always had a great experience with Viator trips. In this case, book directly with the wine cellar. She was amazing!!
