Itinerary
Day 1
Meeting at Piazza Navona (Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi)
Meet your NOGLUTEATALY guide in front of the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, between the Church of Sant’Agnese in Agone and the central fountain. Guide introduction, safety briefing on gluten-free procedures, and the first tasting (pizza al taglio) before setting off.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early and wait directly in front of the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi to avoid congestion.
- Carry a refillable water bottle — there are public drinking 'nasoni' fountains nearby to refill.
- Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestones and light walking; keep personal meds (e.g., antihistamine, epipen) easily accessible if needed.
Pantheon stop & gluten-free gelato
Short walk to the Pantheon. Guide provides a concise history of the monument and surrounding square, followed by a visit to a nearby gelateria that provides certified gluten-free gelato. Time for photos and tasting.
Tips from local experts:
- If you want photos of the Pantheon facade, stand on the south side of Piazza della Rotonda for the best unobstructed view.
- Ask your guide to confirm which gelato flavours are certified gluten-free before ordering.
- Keep a small paper napkin or wet wipe: gelato tastings can be eaten while standing and you'll pass other stops soon after.
Pass by Largo di Torre Argentina — history & local life
Walk through the streets toward Largo di Torre Argentina. The guide will point out the archaeological remains and the cat sanctuary, linking the site to Julius Caesar and everyday Roman life.
Tips from local experts:
- This stop is mainly a walking/observation stop; keep jackets or bags secure as streets can be busy.
- If you have mobility concerns, let the guide know — the area has uneven surfaces and short steps.
- Look for the small information panels at the site to spot the different temple remains while your guide explains the history.
Campo de' Fiori — certified tiramisù and final tastings
Arrive at Campo de' Fiori to sample a certified gluten-free tiramisù and other Roman street-food favourites coordinated for the tour (supplì, maritozzo, and closing tastings). Guide wraps up with final notes about gluten-free options in Rome and answers questions. Guests choosing the longer seated gluten-free pasta upgrade may remain at the partner restaurant after the tour ends.
Tips from local experts:
- If you plan to stay for the optional longer seated pasta (upgrade), tell the guide at the start so arrangements can be confirmed.
- Campo de' Fiori is an active market area — keep an eye on personal belongings during tastings and while moving through the square.
- If you have additional allergies (dairy, nuts), remind the guide before eating; the stops are certified gluten-free but may handle other allergens differently.
