Riccardo was a fabulous guide! Great balance of historical and practical info. Especially loved the look inside the Aqueduct and the stop at the water fountain at the end. A great tour of something not on the usual tourist track.

Excellent guide Joseph!!! Very knowledgeable about the subject matter. Beautiful park with full view of the Aqueducts. Joseph was open to all questions, etc. He even pointed out numerous tree types that were in the area and even showed me the Roman road (The Latin road) which is the second oldest road in Rome. Joseph!!!!!!! 5 stars!!! Don’t miss this interesting tour.

      Outstanding Park and Tour

      christinecaughren, Nov 2024
      The entire tour was amazing. I love all things Roman especially bridges, roads, and aqueducts. The park was beautiful and Giuseppe my tour guide was very patient and knowledgeable. He pointed out an old Roman road that I loved especially since the original Appian Way has been paved over and is no longer the real deal. This park is less crowded and more interesting than the Appian Way.

      An Amazing Experience !

      Valerie_S, Nov 2024
      I will never forget my tour of the Roman Aqueducts. They are so stunning, and are located in a huge, natural park used by locals. There were no other tourists. The guide is an archeologist, and he showed and explained so many things that most people would never notice or know. Walking through the aqueduct park was so fascinating and peaceful. I recommend this tour to everyone who would Iike some time away from the chaos and noise of Rome. Children would love it too, because they can run around and explore. You definitely don’t need to be a history buff to enjoy this tour. It’s a short and easy Metro ride from Rome to the meeting spot.

      Response from Host, Nov 2024

      We thank you for the nice review and above all for describing what you liked about our experience. We hope to see you again with our other initiatives. Marco.

      An Incredible Stroll Through Time Among the Aqueducts

      Joseph_D, Oct 2024
      This was a terrific walk through.history, among the incredible Aqueduct ruins. Tour guide Liviana brought to life the times and people — including fascinating stories of Emperors, Popes, Engineers, Slaves and Citizens. Her knowledge, insight and obvious passion greatly humanized the Aqueducts for us. A very enjoyable experience !

      Perfect for history buffs!

      Kirsten_O, Oct 2024
      The tour was great! The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. It was fascinating to be able to touch the aqueducts.

      We enjoyed this off-beat tour. Our tour guide, Riccardo from Walks of Italy very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. It was quiet, peaceful, serene atmosphere away from the crowds.

      Amazing!!

      Experiential, fun guided tour with awesome guide Riccardo

      Krishna_S, Jul 2023
      Riccardo is an awesome guide! He designed the tour as an experience by walking up to each aqueduct and weaving stories around water and also Roman politics, recreation, philosophy, engineering, landscape. He made learning so fun and easy. I would highly recommend a tour with him. He was also a generous, kind person and patiently helped me understand the way to the meeting point as well as on my way back. Must do tour of an off-beat but the most remarkable Roman monuments!

      Aqueducts and the Appian Way

      Waggoner_T, Mar 2023
      Guiseppe was absolutely the best. He is an amateur archeologist but knows so much about the archeology of Rome: the types of stones, everything about the construction and destruction of the aqueducts. On our walk we saw a section of the ancient Roman Applance Way, walked upon by the ancients 2000 years ago. He showed us pieces of ancient Roman columns and buildings repurposed into a 17th century farmhouse. He is so enthusiastic and I not only enjoyed my tour immensely but enjoyed his company as well. Talk the UNESCO site is a treat to see all by itself. It's an enormous park and picnic ground with views of antiquity.

      Response from Host, Mar 2023

      Thank you for your review. I hope to see you again in the future. Giuseppe.

      Awesome experience learning about the aqueducts!

      Adam_D, Sep 2022
      My wife and I really enjoyed this tour and found the history of Rome's water infrastructure fascinating! We happened to be the only two on the tour and it was great to have our own private guide for a couple of hours. Our guide was a trained archeologist, very knowledgeable, and attentive to all our questions. It was also super pretty to watch the sun start to set behind these marvels of ancient engineering and enjoy a huge park that is a little bit outside of the bustle of central Rome. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is looking for a Roman tour that is a little different from the typical pantheon/colossium circuit. It was also great to experience a little slice of what life is like for Rome's modern citizens in this massive park outside of the historic center!

      A Secret Gem of a Tour!

      Barbara_G, Apr 2022
      For those looking for an amazing experience beyond the "usual," this tour is for you! Mauricio did an outstanding job teaching us all there is to know about the Roman Aqueducts. We were amazed by the beauty of these structures, but what was even more amazing was the intricate method the ancient Romans used to supply water to the population. We could not have had a better or more knowledgeable tour guide. Mauricio really went the extra mile to show us every aqueduct and explained the history to us along the way. He was kind enough to purchase an Italian snack for us-- Suppli, which was a real treat! Thank you to Mauricio for a truly unique and awesome experience and thank you to Marco for organizing it! We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go beyond the touristy places and delve a bit deeper into Rome's fascinating history.

      Response from Host, Apr 2022

      Thanks Barbara for your extraordinary kindness and availability. Maurizio is our researcher and all our experiences are curated by people engaged in archaeological research for many years. This is why we love to share the results of our work and above all to make known these wonderful aspects of our history and our city. A hug. Marco.
