What To Expect
Itinerary
Pass By:
Trastevere
Meet your guide at 9:30am to begin your exploration of Roman custom and tradition. Take a break from the chaos of the rest of the city and see why Trastevere locals consider themselves to be the only 'real' Romans. Get a glimpse of this Roman neighborhood and enjoy the atmosphere of the Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, the heart of the quarter. It serves as a delightful meeting place and offers a chance to catch up on local gossip over an apertivi - an alcoholic drink designed to stimulate the appetite. Enjoy a visit to the Church of St Maria in Trastevere, considered one of the most ancient churches of Rome, before taking in the delightful ambiance of the various squares, corners, and alleys of the area.
The jewel of Renaissance with magnificent frescoes by Raphael and Sebastiano del Piombo.
You will enter the incredible Villa Farnesina, where the banker Agostino Chigi celebrated the glory of the Renaissance painting in his 'free time' villa. You will see an incredible horoscope painted by Baldassarre Peruzzi as well as the famous Galatea by Raphael complemented perfectly by enchanting gardens.
Throughout your walk you will see aristocratic palaces and their beautiful decorations, hidden workshops and picturesque street corners. Admire towers of the Middle Ages, baronial family palaces from the Renaissance, and papal memories during your relaxing walk as though you were a Roman yourself.
