I had an amazing walking tour in a typical quarter of Rome, Testaccio! I had the chance to discover an hidden part of the eternal city, not crowded of tourists!, tasting local products and enjoying the friendly atmosphere! We visited also artistic and historycal places like the Poets' Cimitery and the City Walls. Our guide was extremely passionate and answered to all our questions. I highly recommend this tour to live someting special with a different point of view of wonderful Rome!
