Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Meet your guide at the sacred archaeological site of Largo di Torre Argentina. The locals know it as the place of the assassination of Julius Caesar, the travellers know it as the Cat Place.

Our first stop is the Roman Jewish Ghetto. Learn about this amazing place full of history and drama. Let your local guide tell you about the hardship that Rome's Jews had to face, but also about the traditions, language and food of the Ghetto. Your in-the-know guide will then point out the best restaurants in the Jewish Ghetto.

Stop 3

The easiest and the most scenic way to get to Trastevere from the Ghetto is by crossing the Tiber Island. Two ancient bridges connect mainland Rome to the island and the island to Trastevere. An absolute must-see place, according to ancient myths, Tiber Island is the place where the legendary founders of Rome - Romulus and Remus - were raised by a mother wolf.

Stop 4

The third and final location is the magical Trastevere. An ancient neighbourhood that kept its charm, traditions and culture. This enchanted place is famous worldwide for its food and nightlife, but it is so much more than that. Learn why Trastevere is so important and so dear to our hearts.
