Tour description

Most people come to Rome without ever truly experiencing it, barely scratching the surface of all the stories it has to tell. 

 

Because Rome isn’t just a city — it’s a story. A story of ambition, betrayal, power, and mystery, written by emperors, popes, rebels and revolutionaries. And now, it’s your turn to travel back in time and uncover the truth behind its tales. 

 

This isn’t your average walking tour of Rome. It’s a context-rich experience that hones in on Rome’s highlights, visiting iconic monuments like Piazza Venezia, the Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon, as well as uncovering the hidden gems that most visitors miss. 

 

Along the way, we’ll answer the burning questions you didn’t even know you had: 


✝️ Why are there so many churches in Rome? 

💧 Can you really drink from Rome’s fountains, and where does the water come from? 

🏛 What’s the deal with that massive white monument in the city center? 

🪙 Does tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain really mean you’ll return to Rome — and where does the money go? 

 

And here’s the real kicker — by the end of the tour, you’ll be standing on the very spot where Julius Caesar was assassinated. Goosebumps, right? 

 

Oh, and there’s one secret stop along the way. A place so many people walk past without ever realizing its significance — but you won’t. 

 

📍 Meeting Point: Via Celsa, 7 (just steps from Piazza Venezia) 

⏳ Duration: 2 hours 

🔥 Spots are limited — this experience sells out fast. Book now and see Rome like never before!
