A great, informative experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We met at the prearranged location and promptly went underground. The area was very busy with other tours, but everything was carried out professionally. Would recommend

Excellent

Paul_J, Jul 2026

It was brilliant getting to see the underside of Rome, and the guide was so knowledgeable and friendly

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our Trevi Fountain tour.

Disappointed

Carol_O, Jun 2026

Underground Rome was awesome but was unable to get close to fountain! The tour guide told us we had to get another ticket to get closer to fountain so that was a disappointment.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy our tour, please note that it is mentioned in the voucher that, in order to go down to the fountain, you will need to purchase a different ticket as it is not included in our tour. Thanks!

Underwhelming overpriced tour

Leslie_J, Jun 2026

Unfortunately the tour was less than what we’d hoped for. Our tour guide wasn’t all that enthusiastic which was disappointing given the cool context of the tour. We visited the underground via the museum called Vicus Carparius which is €4 to visit and although would have been self-guided feels like it would have offered more information than what we got. Our 7 year old wasn’t engaged at all which wasn’t a huge expectation but for a tour labeled good for kids it should have been a bit more lively.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy our tour. Usually all our activities are meant for children as they should all be engaging - we will check with our guide and make sure they make it more lively.

Short and to the point.

anastasia_p, Jun 2026

Short and sweet however it did not include entry into the Trevi fountain foreshore. Guide was very knowledgeable

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour!

Christina was incredible and very knowledgeable. She offered Rome a perfect representation of a tour guide! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️rating for her.

Full group, was probably...

Brianna_V, May 2026

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.

Great guide

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!

Not worth the money!

Kathleen_R, Apr 2026

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.

Cool

Quick tour of the underground

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!

Informative, but wouldn't book again.

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!

It got plenty warm once...

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.

Disappointing and not for us.

Paul_S, Dec 2025

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.

Interesting history told...

Kim_M, Nov 2025

Interesting history told in an engaging way that held the attention of the whole group, even our teenage son.

Worthwhile

Pamela_N, Sep 2025

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.

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.

Not that good really. 4/10

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.
