WHAT WE’LL DO

  • Trastevere is one of Rome’s most charming neighborhoods, and during this tour, we’ll explore its lesser-known side — peaceful, authentic, and free from crowds, even during peak tourist season

  • We’ll take a relaxed stroll through Trastevere’s winding alleyways, uncovering its hidden gems — jaw-dropping places tucked behind unassuming doors and façades that most visitors completely overlook
  • For instance, we’ll step into an empty church and casually come across a breathtaking statue by Bernini. Then, with special access granted by the resident nuns, we’ll descend into the underground crypt and ancient ruins of the Church of Santa Cecilia — located five meters beneath street level

  • You’ll also learn about Rome’s famous “lasagna” of history — layers of civilizations stacked atop one another over centuries
  • We’ll continue to the Tiber Island, once used in ancient times to isolate people during epidemics, and then walk on the most ancient bridge of Rome, where Julius Caesar and Cleopatra walked too
  • We’ll end in the historic Jewish Ghetto, where we’ll see the marks of 300 years of seclusion and the resilience of the community over the centuries

  • This experience is perfect for those who want to go beyond the obvious landmarks and enjoy a less crowded, more authentic side of Rome

SIGHTS INCLUDED

  • Bernini’s Blessed Ludovica Albertoni
  • Basilica of St Cecilia
  • St Cecilia’s underground ancient ruins and crypt
  • Vicolo dell’Atleta
  • Tiber island and its folk legends
  • Theatre of Marcellus and the ancient Roman temples
  • Ruins of the Portico d’Ottavia
  • via del Portico d’Ottavia and via della Reginella (Jewish district)
  • Fontana delle Tartarughe
  • plus all the tiny little details around each sight that you would miss without us!

Please remember that during this experience you will also visit holy areas and clothing must be appropriate for the visit. Please wear clothing that covers at least the shoulders and knees.

Great way to see, learn, eat and have fun exploring Rome! Giuliano was a wonderful guide as we walked through areas of Rome that we wouldn’t have found on our own. Food and wine were plentiful and delicious!

Rome from a real Roman Best tour company you will find in Rome. This is where you learn about history. Not through podcasts or polished isn’t videos. An educated local with a wealth of knowledge and passion about her city! Federica was such a valuable source of knowledge and you should definitely book her tours!

Excellent way to experience a different side of Rome This tour took us through the neighborhoods of Trastevere and the Jewish Ghetto. Our guide, Valera, showed us hidden gems such as a Bernini and a convent that houses the remains of a saint. She brought to life the history of the area and her stories inspired us and reminded us the importance of remembering history. We loved this tour so much we signed up for another tour from Live Virtual Guides to visit Rome at Sunset. What I loved about this particular walking tour is the expertise of the guide, the small group, and the well curated sights that we would not have visited on our own.

Hidden gems, indeed! Frangelica was knowledgeable and friendly. We saw things we’d never see on our own. The areas were not crowded, easy to see and very interesting! I’d highly recommend to friends and family.

Rome has so much to offer that we normally don’t look for. A fabulous experience. We learnt so much history in areas that we would have probably not visited. Walking around these places without a guide would mean you miss most of what happened here. Highly recommended.
