This was unique and informative. There was so much history included that it gave perspective to the importance to the system. I loved seeing the underground part even more after walking the route hearing the details.

Exceptional tour with Sabrina - well worth doing

Michael_B, Sep 2025

We were recommended to take this tour and so glad we did. Our guide Sabrina was excellent and so knowledgeable and helpful. Really passionate about Rome - definitely recommend. We started at the Spanish steps and needed up at the Trevi fountain. Well worth taking a tour if you love history. Sabrina was a lot of fun and kept us all interested - a small group from around the world - very fluent in English as well to make it very easy to understand. 5 stars

Not my favorite tour

Sandra_S, Sep 2025

The tour moved very slowly and you stood around a lot while they just spoke, which wasn’t too exciting. While there was some interesting sites to see it wasn’t my favorite tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hello Sandra, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the tour felt slow to you. Usually guests enjoy the balance of stories and sightseeing, as the tour covers over 8 points of interest in 2 hours. We appreciate your comments and will keep them in mind as we continue improving.

The location and...

Janice_M, Aug 2025

The location and activities were excellent. Very well organized. The only negative was the tour guide while very nice and seemed knowledgeable her accent so heavy we could not understand much of what she was trying to impart.

Enjoyable Tour

Aqueducts of Rome - just brilliant

David_C, Jun 2025

Sabrina was a superb guide. Such an interesting tour covering the history of the Spanish Steps, the Trevi fountain, but most importantly, the history of Rome - the levels of the city over the centuries, the aqueducts that supplied Rome with water from afar. A great history lesson, please do this tour if you want to learn about the old world Rome, it’s brilliant.

Trevi underground

Barbara_C, Oct 2024

Going underground to see how far down the water was. I wished we could’ve seen more of the underground areas. We had a wonderful tour guide. It was very informative and interesting. Interesting to spend time with.

AMAZING!!

Hannah_L, Jul 2024

This was a fantastic tour! Federica was incredibly knowledgeable, and shared many things with us about Rome and the sites that we saw. I booked this tour because I wanted to see the Vicus Caprarius, and this was an incredible way to see that site with a tour guide who brought the city to life, and showed us some hidden gems along the way. We had a wonderful time! I went with my mother and my brother, and the tour was the perfect length of time, and good for all weather, since we were in and outside. We left the tour energized and wishing we had time for more tours with Live Virtual Tours! I cannot recommend highly enough!
