About this activity

Explore Rome's layered history across 2,700 years with a dedicated guide who navigates you through imperial ruins, Renaissance masterpieces, and baroque fountains. This intimate walking tour reveals why the Eternal City became the Capital of the World, from Julius Caesar's era to Bernini's sculptural fountains.

No city equals the history of the Eternal City: one of the roots of western civilization, it has everything to offer, from ancient to new. With its 2700 years of existence, Rome has long reigned as Caput Mundi, the Capital of the World. Its monumental buildings are reminiscent of the era when emperors like Julius Cesar, Nero and Trajan ruled the Roman Empire. But not all is ancient in Rome. Much of its attractiveness is due to the Renaissance, when new squares such as the Piazza del Campidoglio were done and new buildings were constructed including the world's largest church, Saint Peter's Basilica. We will take you to get a better look into Rome’s streets and cobblestone alleys, over through churches, romantic squares, and the famous fountains of Rome. Bring a bottle of water with you! All of Rome’s water fountains have drinkable water. Some of the sites will include the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, and the beautiful Piazza Navona with Bernini’s four Rivers Fountain.

Highlights

  • Spanish Steps — iconic staircase and gathering point in the heart of Rome
  • Trevi Fountain — baroque masterpiece and one of Europe's most recognisable landmarks
  • Piazza Navona — Renaissance square anchored by Bernini's Four Rivers Fountain
  • Hidden cobblestone alleys and romantic piazzas away from main crowds
  • Expert storytelling on imperial Rome, Renaissance transformation, and baroque artistry
  • Saint Peter's Basilica — the world's largest church and spiritual centre of Catholicism

Insider tips

  • Bring a refillable water bottle — Rome's public fountains dispense free, potable water throughout the city, perfect for staying hydrated during summer walks
  • Visit early morning (7–9am) to beat crowds at Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps; your guide can navigate quieter side routes
  • Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes with good grip — centuries-old cobblestones are uneven and can be slippery when wet
