Overview

Small and intimate group walking tour of max 12 people.

Discover many points of interests in one tour!

Enter the Pantheon and discover the secrets of the biggest solid concrete dome in the world, including an incredible light effect happening only few days per year, which was only discovered in recent years!

Learn the secrets of the center of Rome and how the ancient city ended up being underground the modern one.

Discover the hidden gems of the center of Rome, for example:

What’s the story of the elephant statue behind the Pantheon? That was a prank of an artist to a friar!

And what about the optical illusion in the church where people queue to look in the mirror? That was a “marketing” campaign in the 1600s!

This experience is for you if you don’t want to confine yourself to the obvious landmarks and want to live a different and more authentic experience of Rome made also of tidbits and urban legends that you don’t find in the guidebooks.
