What You Will Do
Small and intimate group walking tour of max 12 people.
Learn the underground secrets of the center of Rome and explore an ancient Roman stadium underneath Piazza Navona, where the ancient Romans were having fun and playing sports!
Sometimes the best secrets are hidden in plain sight. But we can’t see them, because we’re too “distracted” by the obvious landmarks.
During this walking tour we’ll discover the hidden gems of the center of Rome, for example:
What’s the story of the elephant statue behind the Pantheon? That was a prank of an artist to a friar!
And what about the optical illusion in the church where people queue to look in the mirror? That was a “marketing” campaign in the 1600s!
This experience is for you if you don’t want to confine yourself to the obvious landmarks and want to live a different and more authentic experience of Rome made also of tidbits and urban legends that you don’t find in the guidebooks.
