Itinerary
Meet our expert local guide at Piazza San Simeone next to the fountain.
Walk through one of the most pittoresque street of Rome
Admire the oldest Market of Rome (open in the morning)
Ponte Sisto, or Sisto Bridge, is one of the most popular bridges in Rome crossing the Tiber River and connecting Rome’s historic centre with Trastevere. It offers one of the most beautiful perspectives on St. Peter’s Church and Rome’s skyline.
Walking with our guide through the streets and intricate alleys of Trastevere, you will be able to discover some of the most amazing and well-kept secrets of this city and breathe the true Roman spirit. That’s why the area is commonly referred to as “the heart of Rome”. Trastevere is a district that lies on the west side of the Tiber, south of the Vatican City. This area has kept, almost untouched, a unique authentic charm. When you wander through the streets, you will feel as if you are in a movie, set two, three or maybe more centuries ago. Here, time has left its mark in a co-existence of architectural elements belonging to different historical periods. But, that alone, cannot fully explain the magic of Trastevere. In fact, Romans consider this district a sort of “keeper” of past traditions, and love to come here to explore boutiques, emporiums and craft shops or meet friends for a fun night out.
With regard to the Fountain in Piazza Maria in Trastevere, an aura of mystery and legend still lingers around its origins. Indeed, according to tradition, this is the oldest fountain in Rome dating back to the 8th century, but the exact date of its construction is still unknown. The Fountain in Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere was also featured in a city map dating back to 1471, designed by Pietro del Massaio. In his original drawing, the fountain featured two basins, one above the other, pouring water into the basin below.
The tour ends in Piazza di San Giovanni della Malva.

Anna was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable and the food was delicious! It is a lot of walking but well worth it!
This was a great experience! Food was top notch! Guide Flame was very informative not only on the food but the history of the food.
Had a fantastic experience with Alessandra. The food was great and filling. Alessandra was very personable and has a love of her city and its people and for sharing it with visitors.
Really nice experience, with surprising local food and a great guide (Anna).
A very enjoyable tour. The tour guide was enthusiastic, paid attention to detail when it came to the ingredients in the food we were eating, and a very pleasant person.
This was an excellent tour lead by Daniele who is a local Roman and had lots of information to share with us. The food was all delicious and plentiful. We tried Suppli, Pizza , pork sandwich and then a sweet dessert and gelato. It took 2.5 hours and Daniele was generous with his recommendations of where to eat and his knowledge. We luckily did this on our first night so used his knowledge for the rest of our trip and ate in one of his recommendations. Daniele is a very personable guide who made the tour really fun. We enjoyed it so much we booked him for another tour in the Pantheon a few days later. Thank you Daniele.
Leonardo was the perfect guide and the 5 food stops were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and highly recommend.
Marcialis was fantastic! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to start our stay in Rome. The food was fantastic! The personal attention from Marcialis was unbeatable. Highly recommended!
