Full group, was probably too big of a group for the underground. Informative and knowledgeable, I wish the Trevi portion included the lower section near the basin (it did not). Our guide was nice.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not live up to your expectations... please note that the voucher mentions all inclusions and exclusions as this is a tour of the Vicus Caprarius and Trevi Fountain.
Christopher_N, May 2026
The Guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She did well. The information and underground ruins were amazing. But whomever manages this site allowed too many other tour groups in at the same time. Awfully crowded in a already tight space. But still worth the tour.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed our guided tour at Trevi Fountain!

We arrived at the Trevi Fountain ahead of the scheduled meeting time. I notified the tour guide immediately to let her know we were there, in which she didn't respond. She finally got in touch with us at the last minute and advised the meeting location was changed. Poor communication to start off. The fountain was extremely crowded, we took a tour of the underground aquaduct system, it was crowded and a very boring tour. We didn't go close to the fountain due to the crowds, and you needed to pay 2 euros to enter the base of the fountain which was also very crowded. This tour is not worth the money, If you want to go see the fountain, then go first thing in the morning before it gets very crowded!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We appreciate the review, however we'd like to inform you that we notified you with the change in meeting point two days prior to the tour, to which you said you had noted it down...
on the day of the tour, we called you as you were not at the meeting point, and we wanted to help you find it.
The fountain area is always very crowded as it is one of the most famous spots in Rome.
We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the tour, please note that all inclusions and exclusions are mentioned in the voucher.

Jennie_F, Apr 2026
Skip the lines and see the underground. It was a fun tour that provided a lot of information and allowed a unique look at the water system that feeds the Trevi Fountain. I didn’t realize we didn’t get to go to the fountain lower level. That was a bummer.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for the review, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed our Trevi Fountain guided tour!
Alexandra_L, Mar 2026
While it was very cool, I had a hard time listening to the tour guide and understanding him. This tour is all history based with no chances for pictures (of yourself/group).
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your review, we appreciate the honest feedback. While we will definitely look into our audio devices to see if there were any issues, please understand that the area you visit during this tour is very small and can easily get overcrowded.
Therefore, for safety reasons, it would be difficult to stop and take photos.
However, please note that our guides are always happy to snap some pictures of you at the end of the tour!
Abi_M, Feb 2026
It got plenty warm once we went underground, but the history was worth it. It was very cool to see the layers of history in the rubble.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your positive review, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed our Trevi Fountain guided tour.

Review
If you are expecting to see the aqueduct behind and under the Trevi Fountain you will be disappointed. The underground refers to ruins of a Roman apartment block and a water cistern which is surrounded by a walkway and located 2 or 3 minutes away.
It was interesting but express means just that, we were in and out in 20 minutes at best and didn’t get to see the upper walkway though it was probably just a different view of the same ruin.
The Trevi part was an explanation of the statues, and who they portrayed on the different levels. That was interesting however after about 5 minutes the headsets were collected and the guide was off, leaving us thinking “is that it?”.
For us it was overpriced and disappointing - we could have self guided ourselves at a fraction of the price and spent an extra 5 minutes underground (the tour is stated to be 40 minutes so could have been covered).
If you understand what you will see and that express means just that, you will be fine, it just wasn’t for us unfortunately.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your review. We would firstly like to apologise about not delivering the experience that you were expecting after purchasing the tour with us.
We would, however, like to clarify that the tour inclusions and exclusions are all specified and mentioned thoroughly on the voucher. We always mention that you do not go underneath Trevi, but to the Vicus Caprarius - Città dell'acqua.
The tour includes a brief explanation in front of the Trevi Fountain and then the entrance to the Underground of the Vicus.
The length, as you mentioned, is 40 minutes. Meaning that the whole tour (inside and outside) will take 40 minutes, as we believe that no longer is required.
However, we will definitely take your comments into consideration and do what we find necessary.
Thank you and, again, our apologies for disappointing you.

Easy to get to. The guide was very informative. It was very close to Trevi Fountain itself so easy for people to go to even it they have difficulty walking.

This was a nice surprise! There is so much more to the Trevi Fountain than just the fountain. It was my husband’s second favorite thing to see in Rome.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Thank you! It is such a pleasure to hear that you enjoyed our Trevi Fountain guided tour :)
Leslie_M, Aug 2025
Amazing site and very interesting but the tour is only for a very short time and only takes you underground
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for your feedback - we are sorry to hear that you felt the tour was too short, we will definitely take your comment into consideration.

Bockie, Aug 2025
We were quite disappointed in the tour. As many others were, we felt misled by the title and truly believed that we would be seeing Trevi fountain included. Ok we went afterwards but still
Marko was our guide, started by telling us more than once how boring this tour was. Partly tongue in cheek but hey it was a bit.
He spent some time talking about the fountain but we weren't even close enough to take a decent picture.
He spent time talking about the old church. Then he walked us to a gelato shop.
Then we finally went to the museum, yep it's just a museum. 3 euros entry or 5 with an audio guide. We wouldn't have spent 15 minutes in there .
What an overpriced tour...
Lesson learnt ...
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We are sorry to hear that you did not find this tour to your liking, we understand how upsetting it can be.
We always try to be upfront and never wish to mislead anyone, and we believe that each location is worth visiting and never boring.
It is true that you are visiting the "Vicus Caprarius" underground museum, however everything is always specified in your voucher.
We apologise if there was any confusion or miscommunication.
Please, do not hesitate to contact us at info@touriks.com should you wish to discuss your experience any further.

Franchesca did great as our tour guide. My 12-year old son says the Trevi Tour is his favorite of all the Roman tours we did in the last 3 days.
Antonio_R, Jul 2025
Fantastic tour and guide just steps from the Trevi fountain. Seeing layers of Rome right under the street was amazing. Very cool!
Response from Host, Jul 2025

Sandra_S, Jun 2025
The experience was very educational. The guide did a great job explaining the history of the Trevi fountain and the aqueducts.

Frederica was a great guide, very knowledgeable and made such a unique tour interesting. On our walk post tour past piazza navonna, piazza barbarini we were able to link what we had learnt from Frederica in the tour. It was a surprisingly interesting tour!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for your kind feedback, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Federica!

Thank you Leonie, for taking the time to share your thoughts!
Michelle_M, Apr 2025
We had a wonderful & very knowledgeable tour guide! She was great! It was disappointing to find out at the end that this tour did not allow any express access to the Trevi fountain. I found that misleading. We were told that we would have to stand in line with everyone else at the end of our underground tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
We are sorry that you found this tour disappointing, and we would like to remind you that all the inclusions in the tour are stated in the voucher and before booking.
We hope you had a good time nevertheless and hope to see you again in one of our other tours in Rome.
Jamie_D, Dec 2024
It was a fabulous experience. We got a private tour, just us and the tour guide who had a bunch of knowledge on the fountain and the history behind it. It was unfortunate that there was so much construction.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your tour of the Trevi Fountain and we hope to see you again in the future on one of our tours here in Rome! :)
Rosanna_D, Nov 2024
This tour was not what I expected - I thought we were touring the underground aqueduct of the Trevi fountain. This was a boring tour of a corporation sponsored ruins. Tour guide was nice and all but very boring. Communication was good and the guide was nice but wouldn’t recommend this.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Good afternoon,

We thought this was the behind the trevi fountain but it's not! We were expecting to go underneath and behind the Fountain but you only look at the front while your tour guide tells you the history of the fountain

This tour was informative and well run the guide was excellent. The guide had her own notes and pictures to show us to give a more detailed description of the times the aqueducts were made in Romanan times.
