Small group walking tour of max 12 people.
Discover the hidden gems of Trastevere and the Jewish district. Underground crypts, secrets hiding in plain sight, stories you don't find in the guidebooks.
We’ll take a relaxing stroll through the alleyways of Trastevere and discover the hidden gems of this neighborhood.
For example, we’ll find a Bernini statue by casually walking inside an empty church. Then we’ll get access from the nuns to the underground crypt and ancient ruins of the church of Santa Cecilia, 5 meters below the street level.
We’ll continue to the Tiber island and the Jewish district, where you’ll learn lots of urban legends and local tidbits, that you wouldn’t normally find on a guidebook. As well as learning the ”lasagna” of history (the “layers” of history in Rome) that this area of Rome is.
This experience is for you if you don’t want to confine yourself to the obvious landmarks and want to live a less-crowded and more authentic experience of Rome.
