Lost in a sea of selfie sticks in Rome? Escape mass tourism and join me on an Urban Trekking, a unique and personal way to experience the Eternal City. We'll veer off the beaten path to unveil my favorite archaeological hidden gems – only for the most curious travelers!
Rome's like a lasagna, layers of history stacked beneath our feet. As a young archaeologist, I'll guide you on a journey to uncover each delicious layer – insights only a pro can offer! We'll admire the freshly restored Pyramid, older than the Colosseum itself, and color the "dark" Middle Ages with vivid legends culminating in a climb to a 13th-century fortress.
Choose the Early Bird option for a stroll through the local market and visits to churches, or opt for the Sunset edition for a magical atmosphere as we ascend to the hills of Rome.
I've personally crafted this intimate and sustainable itinerary to share my passion for the Eternal City one cobblestone at a time. Leave the masses behind and trek with me!
