Overview

An experience to get to know the true essence of Rome's underground We will visit:

The Virgin aqueduct
As many as 11 aqueducts reached Rome, an enormous quantity that was equaled only in the modern era.
We will take you to the basement of a shopping center to visit the ancient aqueduct and then we will get to see where the water comes out, in the famous Trevi fountain.

The Stadium of Domitian
Piazza Navona is one of the obligatory destinations for those coming to Rome, but many do not know that the shape of the square is the shape of a Roman stadium, the Stadio di Domiziano.
The first masonry stadium in Rome (1st century AD) for athletics and boxing competitions.
We will then go down to the basement to discover its beauties.

The Capuchin Crypt
A cemetery literally built from bones! The chambers are decorated with the remains of around 4,000 friars. The message at the end of the crypt reads: "What we were, you are now. What we are now, you will be."

    Arrived 45 minutes early at correct meeting point. After 55 minutes tried to contact operator by web chat and got no response. Rang La Vacanza Travel. After about 20 mins or so on the phone it was established that tour guide didn’t know it was booked. At least we got an immediate refund! Big shame as wasted a lot of time on our short trip to Rome.

    Riccardo was excellent - we got a personalized tour, he is very knowledgeable and passionate about his home city. He took time to explain a lot of things, and he was patient with my mom's walking pace, as we covered enough steps to make us lose a kilo or two!!! Just kidding about weight loss - but the tour was great... Highly recommended with caveat - bring your walking shoes!!!

    Riccardo was a great guide, thankyou! He made the tour more interesting than the standard and we learned a great deal about lesser known sites of Rome.
