what you'll experience

  • Step below Trastevere's surface

    Descend into San Crisogono, where ancient walls, hidden spaces, and traces of early Christian Rome emerge. Quiet, cool, and tucked away, it's the kind of place that makes the city feel deeper and older all at once. 
  • Enter the stillness of Santa Cecilia

    Step into Santa Cecilia and descend into its crypt, where stone, silence, and soft light shift the mood completely. Mosaics glint like hidden treasures, and for a moment the church feels like a secret the city has kept just for you. 
  • Look up at Cavallini's frescoes

    See Pietro Cavallini's Last Judgement up close, where delicate faces, bursting colour, and gold details still glow centuries later. It’s the kind of surprise that suddenly makes medieval Rome feel vivid and within reach. (Morning tours only)
  • Walk through Trastevere's layered streets

    Wander narrow alleys, worn façades, and quieter corners as the neighbourhood reveals its older, hidden side. With every turn, Trastevere shifts from lively backdrop to something more personal and full of secrets.
  • End at Santa Maria in Trastevere

    Finish at Santa Maria in Trastevere, where golden mosaics and the rhythm of the neighbourhood come together. You leave with the feeling of having found both the Trastevere you imagined and the one you didn't.
