What you will do

Piazza Giuseppe Gioachino Belli
Meet by the Tiber river and get ready to chart a fascinating course through the centuries as you walk the picturesque streets of Trastevere and visit hidden sights unlikely to be noticed on your own.
5 min
Basilique San Crisogono
Discover the medieval Basilica of Saint Crisogono and be surprised by the captivating beauty behind its outside ordinary appearance. Step inside and marvel at the geometric Cosmatesque pavements.
30 min
Santa Cecilia in Trastevere
Then head towards the Church of Santa Cecilia and go under the earth into its impressive undergrounds. Walk on the original mosaic-flooring of the 3rd-century Roman House of the martyr and be amazed by the preserved look of the subterranean earlier basilica. Be fascinated by the legend of St. Cecilia’s life and her macabre death, and see the beautiful Roman mosaics all around her tomb.
Visit the Cavallini room and marvel at his Last Judgement masterpiece (only with the morning option of the tour).
35 min
Trastevere
Stroll around the cobbled streets of Trastevere with your guide and immerse into its distinctive and lively spirit.

End your tour at the heart of the neighbourhood in front of the stunning golden mosaics of Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of the oldest churches of Rome.
