Highlights of Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere Walking Tour
We begin in Rome’s Jewish Ghetto, a neighborhood shaped by centuries of persecution, resilience, and defiance. Once confined by papal decree, today it thrives as one of the city’s most vibrant districts.
Here, you’ll learn about Rome’s oldest community, their survival against the odds, and uncover the stories of forgotten heroes, cursed statues, and hidden symbols.
In Trastevere, where ivy-clad alleys hide medieval wonders, we’ll unravel the stories of runaway popes, rebel poets, and duels fought for love and honor. We’ll sip from fountains older than most countries and discover why this quarter has always been Rome’s wild heart.
No dry facts, no dull history—just Rome at its rawest, its richest, its most unforgettable.
It's a tip-based tour. The guides work on the ‘Pay-What-You-Want’ tour model which means they work for your tips alone. At the end of the experience, you can give your guide what you think the tour was worth.
