Beyond the Icons: A Hidden Side of Rome
This is not your typical Rome tour. It’s designed for those who’ve already marveled at the Colosseum, the Vatican, and the Trevi Fountain—and are now craving something deeper, quieter, more unexpected.
We’ll take you through places that even many locals overlook: ancient streets where the city’s layers are still visible, peaceful corners where legends linger in the air, and neighborhoods where daily Roman life unfolds far from the crowds.
Along the way, you’ll discover forgotten ruins, underground basilicas, charming alleyways, and a taste of traditional Jewish-Roman cuisine that has survived centuries.
This tour reveals a different Rome—one that whispers instead of shouts, where the beauty is found not in grandeur, but in stories, textures, and the surprising calm that still lives between the stones. Perfect for curious travelers who want to connect with the city in a more authentic, local way.
Rome’s only island on the Tiber river feels like a world apart. Connected by ancient bridges, it’s a peaceful spot with medieval churches, riverside views, and a long history of healing. A perfect place to pause, reflect, and experience the city’s quieter, more poetic side—especially at sunset.
Massive, majestic, and often overlooked, the Baths of Caracalla offer a glimpse into Rome’s imperial grandeur without the crowds. Wander through vast ruins once filled with mosaics, gardens, and libraries. It’s an open-air museum where you can feel the scale of ancient Roman leisure and architecture.
This peaceful street feels like a secret passage to ancient Rome. Lined with medieval houses and hidden under arches, it leads to the Basilica of Saints John and Paul—home to underground ruins and a unique glow from its famous hanging lamps. A quiet, mysterious corner of the Aventine.
