About this tour
This shorter session focuses specifically on aperitivo culture, using Quadrilatero Romano's density of bars as its setting. You see a glimpse of what typically accompanies an evening drink and a street corner view showing several bars at once. Lorenzo explains the tradition's history and how it varies slightly from bar to bar.
He keeps the session focused on one street corner, explaining the tradition without needing to move far. He answers questions about specific customs throughout.
This suits anyone specifically curious about Italian evening social customs. It pairs naturally with the wider after-dark district session.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
