WHAT WE’LL DO

We’ll start by the Spanish steps, where you’ll learn everything about them and why they’re called this way (you’ll be surprised!)
By the Spanish steps we’ll meet the first fountain of the tour. This is where we’ll begin a journey through the water of Rome. In fact this fountain is still fed today by an ancient Roman aqueduct built in 19BC!

From here we’ll follow the aqueduct which is, for the most part, underground. And by casually walking through this itinerary we’ll find parts of the aqueduct appearing between the modern buildings
During this walking tour we’ll get to go underground on a couple of occasions to see the aqueduct up close and its water still flowing through it
We’ll follow the aqueduct until its monumental end: the Trevi fountain. But we won’t stop here

We’ll get away from the crowds, turn the corner and discover the underground water reservoir that the ancient Romans built over 2000 years ago

During this walking tour we don’t just take you to the underground site, without any context. We take you on a journey “through water” that starts in Piazza di Spagna and continues following the track of the ancient aqueduct until the underground site. You get lots of context, which makes this tour not just about the specific site, but about the entire city and how modern Rome was built around the ancient ruins

SIGHTS INCLUDED

Piazza di Spagna and the Spanish Steps
British corners of Rome
The fountain of la “Barcaccia” by Bernini

 Verified 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!

 Verified 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.

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.

 Verified 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.
