Discover the hidden soul of Rome on this intimate, 2-hour walking tour designed for the truly curious traveller. Starting at the grand Piazza del Popolo, we’ll leave the main boulevards behind and dive immediately into the enchanting backstreets of the Old Rome.
This isn't a tour of Rome's headline attractions; it's a treasure hunt for its secret history. We'll uncover spectacular, little-known architectural gems and explore the legend-filled corners of the city, including the famed Via Dei Coronari, arguably Rome’s most beautiful street.
Wander down ancient cobblestone alleys and through tiny, hidden squares. Learn the compelling stories behind forgotten fountains, centuries-old artisan workshops, and walls inscribed with fascinating historical details. You'll gain an insider's view of Roman life, past and present. If you want to see the real Rome—the one beneath the postcards—join us for an unforgettable journey into the city's hidden heart.
