Overview

We begin in Rome’s Jewish Ghetto, a neighborhood shaped by centuries of persecution, resilience, and defiance. Once confined by papal decree, today it thrives as one of the city’s most vibrant districts.

Here, you’ll learn about Rome’s oldest community and their survival against the odds and uncover stories of forgotten heroes, cursed statues, and hidden symbols.

In Trastevere, where ivy-clad alleys hide medieval wonders, we’ll unravel tales of runaway popes, rebel poets, and duels fought for love and honor. We’ll sip from fountains older than most countries and discover why this quarter has always been Rome’s wild heart.

This tour isn’t just about seeing Rome. It’s about feeling its pulse, uncovering its hidden layers, and experiencing the stories that shaped it.

Expect tales of persecution and perseverance, miracles and mysteries, gangsters and saints. No dry facts, no dull history, just Rome at its rawest, its richest, its most unforgettable.

Come hungry for stories, for history, and maybe even for a taste of the best damn street food in town.
