A fantastic intimate look at ancient Roman aqueducts by a guide who really knows his stuff! - I highly recommend this hike to see and learn about the fascinating history of ancient Roman aqueducts. Sal is a fantastic guide who really knows his history. I learned so much. This was a really special tour that did not feel touristy.
He even made a special stop to see a butterfly garden along the way when he learned of my passion to help pollinators.
I loved the tour so much that I signed up for a second one tomorrow to check out birds and other wildlife at a local park. I could not find many other operators in Rome that can take you on nature hikes.
As a solo traveler, I felt safe and Sal even met me at my cab when I arrived to ensure I was not getting ripped off by my cab driver.

Interesting urban walk - Sal is super Pro, friendly and polite! His way of guiding is very interesting, knowing the history. Plan the route very well and tell you things you would not otherwise know. Loved it as a Saturday morning plan

We had a fantastic hike with Sal along the Appian Way! - We had a fantastic hike with Sal along the Appian Way! He was quick to point out various animals as we went along and was very diligent about safety around motor traffic, re-routing through a great park to get us by the riskiest sections of traffic. Sal is a great conversationalist and the hike was a great social experience as well.

Best urban hiking tour in Rome - We had a wonderful day with Sal. Our tour ending up being a tour for just my husband and myself. There were no other bookings that day but Sal keep the tour for us and didn’t cancel. Very commendable. He did a great job of sharing his vast knowledge of the aqueducts and surrounding area. It was a long hike over 5 miles but it was so much fun that you didn’t realized how far you walked. Sal is such a kind and compassionate person. You can really tell he enjoys what he doesn’t and loves sharing his passion. Afterwards he even helped two seniors (67 years old) get on our first subway in Rome. Then texted me later in the day to make sure we didn’t have any problems. We loved every minute with Sal and this tour. So enjoyable. A must do activity for all ages.

Wonderful place with a great guide - I travelled a lot of times to Rome and haven’t seen such beautiful places there before.
I was pregnant when we walked along the aqueduct park and the tour wasn’t stressful. It was a perfect hike for me and my belly.
Sal was an empathic and great guide with so much knowledge about the history and nature…
When I travel again to Rome, I will hike again with him!

A Walk Through Rome’s History - We were fortunate to have Sal as our guide for this fascinating hike. His enthusiasm was contagious. He was knowledgeable about the history and significance of the aqueducts, their construction, sources and the timeline of the various eras of construction. We walked along multiple aqueducts and some lovely, open vistas. Sal knew the best spots for pictures, rests, water breaks and bathroom. He was quite affable and considerate and adjusted the pace to fit our ability. It was a bit of a workout, but we are 70 and managed to make it without problems. This hike is a pleasant departure from the hustle and bustle of Rome and provides a chance to walk through quiet firlds alongside these magnificent structures as the people of Rome did over a thousand years ago. Bring good walking shoes!
Thank you, Sal for making this such a great experience.
