Tour description

Welcome to a tour with a different vision , where you will discover the hidden side of the Christianization of Rome. How the Popes are converting a completely pagan city into a Christian city: today's Rome. A tour NOT SUITABLE for people who are sensitive when it comes to assuming the truth.

A tour for those explorers who have an open mind and want to know how Rome goes from the splendor of the imperial temples to the churches of the Popes. Where the Bible is confronted with History and see how a people are indoctrinated through fear and legends.

At no time is anyone disrespected for their religious beliefs, nor is the information offered a personal vision. Great crimes have been committed in History and this tour tries to make them known with verified information.

We start on Aventine Hill , specifically, in the Knights of Malta Square , to discover some hidden secrets . We will remember the origin of Christianity and how they began to have contact with the great world powers.
.
We will enter the Ghetto of Rome discovering that B side of Christianization and we will get lost in its streets full of history and reality.

We will make a pilgrimage to the foot of Castel Sant'Angelo with the Dome of San Pietro of the Vatican in the background, through its hidden alleys to discover a different Rome .

Muy interesante para ver los caminos del cristianismo pero desde otra óptica. Muy buen recorrido. El guía es historiador. La información está documentada. El mejor free tour que he hecho.

Que dominio de la ciudad de la gente y de la información. Iván, me ha regalado otro recorrido impresionante y en este caso me ha enseñado algo que no suelen contar los guías por aquí: La historia sin maquillaje ni palabras bonitas‼️ FANTÁSTICO y me encantan tus camisetas 🤩

De nuevo sorprendidos. Ha sido una buena opción repetir con Iván y en este caso en un diferente, que en ocasiones deja hasta sin palabras. Desde el respeto y de una manera divertida, se descubre una Roma oculta. Tanto en su discurso, como en su recorrido. Me quito la boina delante de ti 🎩 y mi hijo quiere que volver cuando tengas más tours. Así que nos vemos pronto
