Highlights
Step into the hidden heart of Rome and discover Vicus Caprarius – the City of Water, an extraordinary underground archaeological site beneath the Trevi Fountain.
In Piazza Venezia you'll admire the Altare della Patria and its striking twin fountains representing the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas.
Next, wander through the charming streets to find the Turtle Fountain, a Renaissance gem designed by Giacomo della Porta. At Piazza Navona, you’ll marvel at Bernini’s dramatic Fountain of the Four Rivers, surrounded by baroque beauty.
Our journey then takes us to the world-famous Trevi Fountain, where you can toss a coin to ensure your return to the Eternal City. From here, we go beneath the surface into Vicus Caprarius—an ancient Roman aqueduct and hidden archaeological treasure that reveals the engineering genius and daily life of Rome almost 2,000 years ago.
This tour blends the magic of Rome’s most beloved fountains with the rare opportunity to explore a site most visitors never see.
