Overview

This is a small and intimate group walking tour of no more than 12 people.

We'll start by the Spanish steps, where you'll learn everything about them and why they're called like this (you'll be surprised!).

By the Spanish steps we'll meet the first fountain of the tour. This is where we'll begin a journey through the aqueducts of Rome! In fact this fountain is still fed today by an ancient Roman aqueduct built in 19BC!

From here we'll follow the aqueduct which is, for the most part, underground. And by casually walking through this itinerary we’ll find parts of the aqueduct appearing between the modern buildings.

We'll follow the aqueduct until its monumental end: the Trevi fountain. But we won't stop here.

We'll get away from the crowds, turn the corner and discover the underground water reservoir that the ancient Romans built over 2000 years ago!

During this walking tour you won't just see the specific site, but learn also how modern Rome was built around the ancient ruins.

Here you'll also learn that the Spanish steps.. are not Spanish at all! You'll be surprised to learn why.
Then we'll learn about the iconic fountain of la Barcaccia, which is still today fed with an ancient Roman aqueduct of over 2000 years! And this is where our journey through water starts..

Colonna Dell'Immacolata - Piazza di Spagna
This column is tied to the local traditions around Christmas time

15 min
Rinascente Roma Tritone
This is a department store.. but we're not here for shopping!
You'll learn that pretty much anything in Rome can turn into a museum, because the modern city is literally built on top of the ancient one! In fact underground this mall we'll get to see the ruins of the only ancient Roman aqueduct still functioning today!
15 min
Trevi Fountain
The iconic Trevi fountain, one of the most photographed spot in Rome. But how many people know of its significance? You'll learn of the legends and stories which go hand-in-hand with the fountain, since ancient Roman times until today.
15 min
Vicus Caprarius – the City of Water
Here you'll learn where all the water of the Trevi fountain comes from! We'll walk underground to explore the ancient water tank of the aqueduct built in 19BC! This place is such a "lasagna" of history, with layers of buildings and homes of people that have lived here through the centuries. People just like us today..
