Your 2.5 hour walking tour in downtown Rome will start from the iconic Spanish Steps. The Spanish Steps, named as the most photographed area in all of Rome. They have made numerous appearances on the silver screen, and it's a great place to just sit down and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the city.

Just around the corner, you can admire the church of Sant'Andrea, named 'delle Fratte' since once upon a time there were woods and bushes!

Stop 3

This is perhaps the most famous fountain is the world! It is also one of the most stunning fountains you've ever seen and one of the oldest water sources in Rome. Legend has it that a coin thrown into the fountain will ensure a return to Rome.

Stop 4

Discover this hidden gem, an imposing victory column to honour the victories of Marcus Aurelius, erected 1800 years ago.

The statue of Marcus Aurelius on the top of the column has been replaced by one of St. Paul.

Alessandra will engage all of you with interesting stories about it.

Stop 6

Be amazed by this great column portico entrance and by its immense dome. It is the first pagan temple to be transformed into a church, and therefore it was saved from being destroyed over the ages. Today it is a burial place for several important Italian historical figures, such as Raphael, and King Vittorio Emanuele II, known as the Father of the Nation.

Explore it with Alessandra, who will provide your kids with multimedia tools to entertain and fascinate them.

Stop 7

It was once an open stadium, a real competition arena for athletics contests and also for gladiatorial combat. When it became a public square, many examples of baroque architecture and artwork were added, such as the Pamphili Palace, the church of Sant’Agnes, the three lavish fountains and the obelisk in the centre of the square, which came from Egypt.
