About this experience
Meet your guide and set off on a journey through the hopes, rivalries, and passions that built Rome — layer by layer, family by family. Wander through the city’s ancient streets and uncover the answers to questions like: How many fountains does Rome actually have? Why do people toss coins into one of them? What’s with all those Egyptian obelisks?
Learn about the mighty emperors and powerful popes to the artists, dreamers, and everyday Romans who shaped this incredible city. Hear about the secret ingredient that made Rome rise above the centuries and capture the world’s imagination.
Along the way, get recommendations for the best pizza in town — and maybe even basil-flavoured gelato (trust us, it’s a thing!).
