Originally built as a temple to the gods, it stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Roman Empire, with its iconic domed roof and perfectly preserved oculus, creating a breathtaking interplay of light and space within the structure.
- Trevi Fountain - The Trevi Fountain is a world-famous Baroque masterpiece located in the historic center of Rome, Italy. Renowned for its grandeur and intricate sculptures, the fountain depicts Neptune, surrounded by mythical sea creatures, and is celebrated for the tradition of throwing a coin over one’s shoulder into the fountain, believed to ensure a return visit to the City.

recommend this to Everton a first or subsequent visit to Rome - Had low expectations of a pay as you want tour. I was very pleasantly surprised.
The tour was quite a large group (about 15) and mixed ages and fitness but it was pitched to give everyone a great experience.
It felt informal and relaxed, the ability to chat with guide and fellow attendees, or to follow and just enjoy the tour and some amazing views.
The guide was knowledgeable despite not being a native, she was Dutch. She answered all our questions and gave some great supplementary information.
The tour focussed on the area around the Villa Borghesi and Pincian Hill. Let's face it, no 2 hour tour will do justice to the sights of Rome. We went to some lesser known attractions with a theme around three of the most influential Roman families.
All in I would recommend it to anyone wanting a good tour of some of the interesting but less commercial areas of Rome.

FAB ROME TOUR - I have taken walking tours before but this was one of the best. Kasia, our guide, was so great! Knowledgeable, kind, patient, and very entertaining.
She even filled us in on some of the current Roman culture and gave us useful advice.
Her English was perfect! I took costly LOUVRE and PARIS tours last week, but this one was far superior.
THANKS SO MUCH

Don't miss this great introduction to Rome - We were guided by Anya who was just superb. Fantastic knowledge, humorous, and friendly. The walk lasted almost 3 hrs and covered pretty much everything you need to have as an introduction to Rome. We did this on our first day and then went back to all the individual sights over the four days we were in Rome. She gave us some great tips of where to go and the history. Absolutely recommend this tour and our guide. Thank you.
