Why take this tour?

Uncover the secret side of Rome as you venture off the tourist trail on this half-day tour. Stroll the streets of the historic Jewish Ghetto, marvel at ancient aqueducts, follow an exquisitely preserved Roman road, and so much more. This well-thought-out experience includes private transport via minibus with a dedicated driver, along with a knowledgeable expert guide, so you can spend more time exploring this intriguing side of Rome and less time worrying about logistics. 

The tour begins in one of the most historically significant—but often overlooked—neighborhoods in Rome: the Jewish Ghetto. For centuries, this part of the city has been integral to the development of regional cuisine and culture. Today, it’s still home to dozens of fascinating landmarks, including the impressive Teatro di Marcello. 
 
From there, you’ll head across Tiber Island and into the picturesque Trastevere neighborhood. Discover some of its lesser-known treasures—including a beautiful historic church—and pop into a beloved bakery for a delectable cookie tasting. 
 
After exploring Trastevere, you’ll board your private minibus and head out of the city to the Park of the Aqueducts. Admire the giant structures that once provided ancient Rome with fresh, running water, and don't forget to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime photo op! 
 
Your exploration of remarkable ancient sites continues at Via Latina, a prime example of a well-preserved Roman road with tombs dating back to the first and second centuries A.D. Take a stroll through history at this stunning location that’s often overlooked by other Rome driving tours. 
 
Finally, head back towards central Rome with a brief stop at Circus Maximus for photos. The final destination on your driving tour is an unforgettable viewpoint on Aventine Hill that offers panoramic views across the river to St. Peter’s Basilica. After taking in the breathtaking vistas, you'll board the minibus one last time for drop-off close to the city center.
