Activity itinerary

Basilica of San Clemente

  • 1m
  • Admission ticket included
On your private tour, descend through three extraordinary layers of history stacked one above the other. Begin in the 12th-century basilica, then step down into a 4th-century church adorned with early Christian frescoes, before reaching a 1st-century Roman temple dedicated to Mithras. In the quiet underground chambers, you will hear the sound of the ancient stream that still flows beneath the structure. With your dedicated guide, you’ll uncover how faith, daily life, and architecture evolved over centuries, experiencing Rome’s layered past in an intimate and unhurried way.

Caelian Hill

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
During your private experience, explore remarkably preserved Roman homes hidden beneath the Caelian Hill. Walk through ancient rooms decorated with vibrant frescoes, discovering how wealthy Romans once lived, worshipped, and transformed their homes into early Christian spaces. Your guide will bring to life stories of domestic rituals, art, and social change as you move through corridors frozen in time. Away from the crowds, this exclusive visit offers a rare glimpse into everyday life in Imperial Rome, preserved in silence beneath modern streets.

Vicus Caprarius – the City of Water

  • 1m
  • Admission ticket included
On this private underground tour, step into the fascinating archaeological area beneath the Trevi district. Explore the remains of ancient apartment buildings and the cistern linked to the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, which still supplies water to the Trevi Fountain today. In this intimate setting, your guide will explain Rome’s extraordinary engineering genius and how water shaped the city’s growth and daily life. Surrounded by ancient stone and flowing water, you will experience the hidden infrastructure that kept the Eternal City alive.
