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.

Guide was a very friendly and knowledgeable archeologist. I wasn't excited to go but by the time I left, I was glad I did. I learned so much and was so intrigued by the information

Thank you so much, Maria, for your wonderful review! ⭐
We’re really happy to hear that, even though you weren’t particularly excited about the tour at first, you left glad that you came. 😊 That’s probably the best compliment we could receive!
It was a pleasure sharing the ancient aqueducts of Rome with you, and we’re delighted that the stories and archaeological details sparked your curiosity. There is so much more to Rome than the monuments everyone already knows — sometimes you just have to follow the water! 😉
Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to see you again for another journey through Rome’s history.
So many people go just to the Colosseo or Trevi Fountain and think they are seeing old Rome. Aqueduct Park is as amazing as either of those--and without the crowds. This was one of our favorite experiences in Rome. It's so beautiful and at the edge of the park there is a little restaurant where you can have apertivo and drinks. Our guide was really knowledgeable (actually studied Roman history and archaeology) and nice. We had such a good time. It's a magical place.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted that the Ancient Aqueducts of Rome tour became one of your favorite experiences in Rome. The Aqueduct Park really is a magical place, and we love showing visitors a side of Rome that is often overlooked but tells so much about the ancient city.
We’re especially happy that you appreciated the archaeological and historical side of the tour, as well as the relaxed atmosphere of the park. And yes… ending the experience with an aperitivo certainly doesn’t hurt! 😄
Thank you for discovering this hidden side of Rome with us. We hope to see you again on another adventure! 🏛️
Aqueducts are an engineering marvel that had a significant impact on Roman history. The tour includes interesting facts about the building, maintenance, and restoration of aqueducts in a beautiful setting. Riccardo is a great guide.

I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the fascinating history and engineering behind Rome’s ancient aqueducts. It was a pleasure sharing these incredible places and their stories with you.
Thank you also for your kind words about Riccardo — I’ll be sure to pass them on to him. We hope to welcome you again for another underground adventure in Rome!
Very good and informative - Joseph and Alex were excellent guides. They explained everything in detail.

A nice walk within a beautiful park under the Italian sun set with some locals cycling, some jogging and some sunbathing

Thank you
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.

Very informative. Guiseppe was interesting and passionate about his subject. There was a lot of walking but mostly flat. The history is amazing.

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.

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.
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 !
The tour was great! The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. It was fascinating to be able to touch the aqueducts.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Than you very much. We hope to see you again.
Giuseppe was wonderful! Knew so much and made it interesting for us and the kids. Great tour!
Who knew that was right there to walk to from the city.

Thank you very much for your review.
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.
Giuseppe was fantastic!! Full of information and ever so patient with my many questions. Make sure you wear good walking shoes NOT sandals!😏

Thank you very much, we are happy. See you, Marco
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!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
thanks for your review. We are happy that you enjoyed our experience and we hope to see you again on a next trip.

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.

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

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!

Thank you very much for choice us.

I loved this tour as a conclusion to our week in Rome. It was an awesome evening stroll in the park with a knowledgable archeologist.

Hi Jennifer and thank you for your review.
We hope.to meet you again in Rome
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.
