This was a fascinating tour to the DOMUS under the fountain. The archaeology was super interesting, and the water works were fascinating. By having an early appointment, I was able to finally access the Trevi fountain, as was my friend who was with me. She lives in Italy in Perugia and had never been there. It was an excellent tour and I would recommend it.
Our tour guide, Erika, was very informative. We were glad we did the underground version as well as above.
Didn’t know what to expect but it blew my expectations away. Its one of the most beautiful structures I’ve ever seen
Really interesting visit underground near to the Trevi Fountain to view the archeology and history of an ancient Roman house. Our guide, Naomi, was really informative. She dropped us off at the Fountain for pictures etc. Really enjoyed the trip. Good value for money.
The tour was very well organised and straightforward for the tickets for the trevi & icecream. Alessia was very knowledgeable and explained everything in interesting detail. The domus being underground was a welcome respite from the heat. And accessing the trevi afterwards was very quick and efficient
It’s a pretty interesting experience to go underground and learn about the water filtration system and that the same system implemented many years ago is still being used today. However, the guide that we had was what made the tour interesting. She was knowledgeable and explained everything in detail and with patience, if it were not for that, the tour itself would not have been as great.
A pleasure to get out of the heat, see something unique and learn from a knowledgeable guide! Helps bring to life how Romans actually lived.
This was very interesting to see. It is a still-working ancient Roman aquaduct. You should know that you have to stand during the entire tour, without walking very far. If you've spent a lot of time in Rome and want to see something different, I recommend this. The tour guide was very good. It's just not a top sight to see in Rome.
Excellent tour guide! Friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. The tour was engaging, informative, and lots of fun. Had a great time and would highly recommend this tour to others. Thanks again, Ati ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I would follow Erika anywhere! Amazing tour with plenty of information. Erika is knowledgeable about all things Rome and beyond! The tour itself was an amazing experience, highly recommended.
