Explore the charming district of Trastevere and uncover a fascinating side of Rome filled with hidden history, ancient churches, and mysterious underground spaces. This small group guided experience allows you to discover the authentic atmosphere of one of the most picturesque neighborhoods in the city. Begin near the Tiber River and stroll through narrow cobbled streets as your guide shares stories of medieval life and local traditions. Visit the Basilica of Saint Crisogono and admire its beautiful interior before descending beneath the church where an earlier basilica reveals a quiet world of ancient walls, frescoes, and historic remains that reflect life in early Christian Rome.

Discover even more hidden treasures as the journey continues to the Church of Santa Cecilia where underground chambers preserve remarkable pieces of the past. Walk along the original mosaic floor of an ancient Roman house associated with the story of the martyr Cecilia and learn about her life and legend. Admire the artistic beauty surrounding her tomb and experience the peaceful atmosphere of these historic spaces. Depending on the tour option you may also visit a special room displaying the famous Last Judgement fresco by Cavallini. Conclude your exploration with a relaxing walk through the lively streets of Trastevere before arriving at the magnificent Santa Maria in Trastevere where golden mosaics illuminate one of the oldest churches in Rome.
