1 / 10Private Walking Tour of the Squares and Fountains in Rome
About this activity
Explore Rome's most iconic piazzas and fountains on a curated 3.5-hour private walking tour that weaves through centuries of art, architecture, and history. Your guide navigates you through the atmospheric streets connecting Piazza del Popolo, the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and Piazza Navona—revealing the stories and hidden details that make each square unique.
“Il Babuino”, via Ripetta and via del Corso, the three main arterial roads of the old town center, flow into Piazza del Popolo. The ancient seat of games, fairies, popular shows and executions, the Square is one of the most famous in the world. It hosts two twin churches, Santa Maria di Montesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli. In addition, you can find here the impressive Flaminio Obelisk (the most ancient and the highest in Rome). The tour goes on towards Piazza di Spagna ( the spanish steps ) a strategic place in which intersect some of the most important roads of Rome’s city center: Via dei Fori Imperiali, Via del Corso, and Via del Plebiscito, the square presents much more reason to be visited and admired. You will walk to the famous Trevi Fountain, follow by the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, PIazza della Minerva and more...

Who it's for
