Guide and the crypt entry are included at €45 per person, pickup and food are not. Shoulders and knees covered. ## Overview Small group walking tour of max 12 people. Discover the hidden gems of Trastevere and the Jewish district. Underground crypts, secrets hiding in plain sight, stories you don't find in the guidebooks. We’ll take a relaxing stroll through the alleyways of Trastevere and discover the hidden gems of this neighborhood. For example, we’ll find a Bernini statue by casually walking inside an empty church. Then we’ll get access from the nuns to the underground crypt and ancient ruins of the church of Santa Cecilia, 5 meters below the street level. We’ll continue to the Tiber island and the Jewish district, where you’ll learn lots of urban legends and local tidbits, that you wouldn’t normally find on a guidebook. As well as learning the ”lasagna” of history (the “layers” of history in Rome) that this area of Rome is. This experience is for you if you don’t want to confine yourself to the obvious landmarks and want to live a less-crowded and more authentic experience of Rome. ## Before you book - Meeting point: We'll meet by the church of San… - Entry ticket included: skip the ticket desk - Max 12 people: small group - Starts 10:00, 10:30, 16:00: 3 departures a day - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €51: ages 5 to 13 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €45 per person - Duration: 2h 30m - Rating: 4.99/5 from 154 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Likely to sell out - Operator: Live Virtual Guide - Group: Shared, up to 12 travellers - Guide languages: English - Tickets: Admission included - Start times: 10:00, 10:30, 16:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-25 ## Reviews 4.99 from 154 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 154 of 154. - 5 stars: 152 (99%) - 4 stars: 2 (1%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the storytelling and small groups; some wanted more depth on Jewish history in the Ghetto. **Praised:** - Engaging storytelling that connects local streets and buildings with their history - Less familiar churches, artworks and streets that visitors would miss on their own - Small groups make it easy to hear, ask questions and join the conversation - New details and perspectives even for travellers who have visited Rome before **Complaints:** - Some wanted fuller coverage of Jewish history and the Ghetto Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2025-09-12 to 2026-09-26); last checked 2026-10-03. ## What's included - Genuinely Small Group of max 12 people, Guaranteed (personal, relaxed, and never rushed) - Also Suitable for Families (kids love it!) - Entry tickets to the underground crypt still guarded by the nuns - Direct Contact via Phone or Whatsapp for any questions you may have about the tour - If you aren't happy with this tour, just text us and we'll refund you your full purchase price - Knowledgeable and friendly local guide ## Not included - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Food and drink ## Itinerary 1. **Chiesa di San Francesco a Ripa Grande** (30m) - In this church we'll discover the first "hidden gem" of this tour: the Blessed Ludovica Albertoni by Bernini 2. **Santa Cecilia in Trastevere** (1h; admission included) - This church was built where once lived one of the most famous saints of Rome: Saint Cecilia.
