What To Expect
Itinerary
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.
