Join us on a journey through layers of history in which you'll uncover both the iconic and the unseen sides of the Eternal City. We will start from the eerie Capuchin Crypt, where art and bones meet in a haunting tribute. Then we will venture beneath a modern mall to discover a stretch of the ancient Aqua Virgo aqueduct (made in 19 BC!) still active to this day, and we will follow its waters to the iconic Trevi Fountain. Later, we will stroll through the alleys of Rome to reach the Pantheon, the best-preserved pagan temple of ancient Rome. To conclude our journey we will set foot in the Piazza Navona, an unforgettable piece of astonishing Baroque beauty. This tour is more than a checklist, IT’s a deep dive into Rome’s visible glory and invisible past. With a passionate local guide, you’ll experience a balance of must-see landmarks and off-the-beaten-path discoveries, all within walking distance. This tour is ideal for adventurous travelers who want to go beyond the surface of Rome.

    We will accompany you in the visit of the crypt of the Capuchin Friars : a cemetery of the friars who, in respect of their beliefs, made fun of the human remains of their brothers, making with bones chandeliers and furnishings, as evidence that the material aspect of an individual is not important, but the spiritual one.

    Pantheon

    You will have the opportunity to admire from the outside one of the oldest and well maintained monuments in Rome: the Patheon.

    Piazza Navona

    Finally, you will visit the most beautiful square in the city: Piazza Navona. The Romans still quarrel about whether this or the Spanish Steps is better, but here you'll have the chance to admire the legendary "Found of the Four Rivers" erected by the famous seventeenth-century artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. In addition, our Guide will also reveal the hidden meanings of this monument also known for its role in the movie "Angels and Demons", and then let you discover what has been hidden under Piazza Navona since the distant time of the ancient Romans.
