Really interesting tour under the Trevi Fountain with an excellent guide to show us around. - Our guide Erika was excellent, well informed and easy to understand. We really enjoyed learning more about the Aquaduct and water system under the street level of the city of Rome.

Very informative tour! - Great tour! The underground area is actually quite small, but our guide did a great job explaining all of the various locations. She gave us so much interesting information that I never would have known if we'd gone on or own. I highly recommend going on this tour.

Super cool - Our guide was great! Spoke perfect English. We lucked out and it was just our group so very intimate. The place is small but was a welcome respite from the July afternoon heat. Would recommend for able bodied folks as there are quite a bit of stairs.

Interesting explanation of the underground - The underground part was fascinating. However, this tour doesn’t get you up close to the fountain. You have to fight the crowd on your own for that. It was a short, easy tour suitable for everyone. It wasn’t physically demanding at all.
