Overview
Bypass Rome’s tourist hotspots and uncover the lesser-known gems that many visitors miss.

Check out Case Romane del Celio, an ancient Roman house, and step inside the city’s so-called medieval Sistine Chapel. Visit the papal seat, aka the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, and learn about the city’s history from Roman Empire days to the Middle Ages. The tour can be tailored to your preferences.
