Itinerary

Make your way to a centrally-located meeting point in Trastevere, where you’ll meet your private guide. Stroll to the Sistus Bridge across the Tiber River, then continue to Porta Settimiana, a gate in the fortified walls that Emperor Aurelian built in the 3rd century.

Walk down quiet alleyways past Trastevere’s colorful, historic houses, craft shops, old bakeries, and ancient city walls and ruins. See a lineup of the neighborhood’s highlights including Vicolo del Cinque, the Palazzo San Callisto, Piazza Trilussa, and the Basilicaof Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of Rome’s oldest churches, and the most important church in the area.

The final stop on your walking tour is a beloved gelato shop, or gelateria, that some consider to be the best spot for Roman gelato (you can judge for yourself, as samples are included in this tour). At the end of the walking tour, keep exploring Trastevere on your own, or head to the nearest bus or taxi station with the guide.

Amazing Tour!

Brittnee_E, Apr 2023

Thomas was an amazing guide. He was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the area. His passion for history shone through the duration of the tour. We also loved that he was an archeologist and professor who was always had his teaching hat on!

Lovely tour just outside Rome's...

Julia B, Jun 2017

Lovely tour just outside Rome's crowded area and the final gelato was probably the best one I ever had!

I was not sure what to expect on...

Jennifer S, Jun 2017

I was not sure what to expect on this tour. Our guide Italo was great. He also had a guide in training tagging along with us. We toured the chapels in the area and they pointed out their favorite spots and foods along the way. I did feel that you need to be more specific in the description of this tour, I don't think I would have booked it knowing that the sites were chapels, they were beautiful but for my teenage son, it was boring for him. Since the tour was on Sunday, some of the chapels were closed as well as the shops/resturants in the area. We ended with Gelato near the Jewish Ghetto and parted ways there so that we could explore that area on our own.

We had Rosy as our guide and loved...

We had Rosy as our guide and loved her! Encyclopedic knowledge and clearly a love for Rome and her job.

Martin Y, Mar 2017

if you have never been over and most people dont go its intresting to look around in day light ,the guide is very good ,but there is not really much of great intrest in the area apart from the church,the ice cream at the end is really the highlight but its a nice way to get away from the city and busy tourist area ,the cost is really cheap also ,and there are some very intresting street art .thanks again for a lovely few hours .

Highly recommend visiting...
