Additional Information

While many are familiar with the renowned Trevi Fountain, fewer people are aware of the subterranean tunnels underneath the Trevi district.

Once you’ve tossed a coin into the Trevi Fountain, you’re likely to ponder your wish briefly before continuing. Modern Rome was constructed on its imperial foundations, and this guided tour underneath the Trevi district will illustrate just how literal that is. Underneath the roads, nine meters down, from Via San Vincenzo to Vicolo Puttarello, you’ll uncover ancient Roman ruins. An audio guide device with three different routes to walk is also included!
Experience a journey back through time, where you can touch the millennia of Rome’s layers and witness the archaeological remnants of significant historical events that shaped the city, from the establishment of Aqua Virgo to Nero’s fire, from Alarico’s plundering to the Gothic siege.
Choose what suits you best: a guided tour or a self-guided visit with an audioguide!

Fascinating and fun - Erika was amazing and so knowledgeable. The information about the aqueducts was fascinating and to see them up close was exciting. Additionally, her anecdotes about the history of the fountain were great. The tour was the perfect length. Well worth it!!!

Waste of Time - The only positive thing is it was close to the fountain. If you really want to do this you certainly don't need a guide. The site is tiny and very poor for the price.

Meh - If you like archaeological remains you might like it. Small area to explore. Didn’t actually do the guided tour, just got audio guide. Nothing like Trevi, not even under the actual Trevi fountain. Do another tour.

Very Poor Experience - Very small space and not worth nearly the cost. On the plus Erika the guide was great. I would not go to another place like this at all.
