The Journey
Church of San Crisogono
Descend beneath the Church of San Crisogono in Trastevere to uncover a hidden world. This church is built atop its ancient predecessor, which safeguards remarkable ancient frescoes, marble work, and structural remnants. Explore the layers of history in this subterranean sanctuary, where the past vividly comes to life.
Basilica of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere
Delve into the depths of the Basilica of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere and discover its captivating underground crypt. Built on the very site where Saint Cecilia met her martyrdom in her own home, the crypt reveals archaeological excavations of an ancient Roman insula (apartment building). Explore this sacred space and connect with the poignant history of Saint Cecilia.
Piazza di Santa Cecilia
Experience the authentic atmosphere of old Rome in the picturesque Piazza di Santa Cecilia. Nestled between the Monumental Complex of San Michele a Ripa and the Basilica of Santa Cecilia, this charming square evokes a sense of timeless beauty. Immerse yourself in the local vibe and savor traditional Roman cuisine at characteristic restaurants like Osteria dei Mercanti and Meo Patacca.
Orange Garden & Basilica of St. Sabina
Ascend to the Orange Garden on Aventine Hill for spectacular panoramic views of Rome. This symmetrical park with its grand central avenue leads to a breathtaking viewpoint. Adjacent to the garden stands the Basilica of St. Sabina, a 5th-century architectural gem and one of the finest examples of early Christian basilicas in Rome. Experience tranquility and historical significance in this elevated haven.
Basilica of Santo Stefano Rotondo al Celio
Venture to the Caelian Hill and discover the unique Basilica of Santo Stefano Rotondo al Celio. This 5th-century church features a distinctive circular design, with 25 marble columns encircling its center. Adorned with captivating frescoes, this architectural marvel offers a serene escape and a glimpse into Rome's early Christian heritage. Stroll along the charming cobblestone pathway lined with ancient Roman arches leading to this hidden gem.
Gothic Church near the Pantheon
A short walk from the Pantheon, discover a hidden gem: the only Gothic church in Rome, boasting superb ceilings and a beautiful statue by Michelangelo. Experience the unique artistry and architectural contrast within this sacred space, adding another layer to Rome's rich tapestry of over 900 churches, each with its own special story.
Galleria Sciarra
Escape the bustling crowds near the Trevi Fountain and discover the serene Galleria Sciarra, a beautiful courtyard often overlooked. Admire the intricate Art Nouveau frescoes by Gabriele Cellini that adorn its walls. Although privately owned, it's open to the public during work hours, offering a glimpse into a stunning 1800s architectural masterpiece that now serves as a unique office space.
Fontana dell’Acqua Paola
While the Trevi Fountain is a must-see, don't miss the Fontana dell’Acqua Paola on Janiculum Hill. Designed in the 17th century by Giovanni Fontana, this spectacular fountain offers a grand display of Baroque artistry. Capture memorable photos and enjoy the scenic journey as you ascend to the top of the hill for panoramic views of Rome.
Janiculum Hill Viewpoint
Experience one of the best panoramic views of Rome from Janiculum Hill. Although not one of Rome's original seven hills, this vantage point offers an unparalleled perspective of the ancient city. Head to the terrace at Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi, near the Giuseppe Garibaldi Monument, and witness the daily firing of the cannon at 12:00 PM, a tradition upheld for over a century.
Portico d’Ottavia & Theatre of Marcellus
Explore the historic Jewish Ghetto and discover the Portico d’Ottavia, an ancient gate built around 24 BC by Augustus. Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of this neighborhood. For a glimpse of Colosseum-like grandeur without the crowds, visit the nearby Theatre of Marcellus, an open-air amphitheater dating back to 13 BC. Commissioned by Julius Caesar, it once held 20,000 spectators, making it the largest amphitheater in Rome at the time.
Know Before You Go
This tour includes private transportation, bottled water and a local guide to show the group around. Gratuities and entry tickets for the Crypta are not included. Guests will meet their guide at a designated meeting point. At the end of the tour, the golf cart will return to the original starting location.
Hot Tip
Reviewers suggest wearing comfortable shoes because even though the tour is on a golf cart, there is still a bit of walking. They also recommend bringing a hat and sunscreen, especially on sunny days.
