About this experience

This tour will lead you through the historical Jewish Ghetto and its important story and traditions, exploring the little narrow streets, still full of archaeological ruins from the ancient Roman Empire, such as the Porticus of Ottavia, the ancient fish market, and the Theatre of Marcello, better known as the "Small Colosseum."
After the visit of the neighborhood and all the typical restaurants of the area, you will be guided to Tiberina Island, the smallest island in the world that rises in the middle of the Tiber River, where you will also walk on the oldest bridge ever built by the Romans more than 2000 years ago.
After that, you will go to Trastevere, the bohemian and artistic neighborhood of Rome, and you will visit the Basilica of Santa Cecilia, its spectacular cloister, and its underground, among the most evocative and
important preservation in the city center.
