Itinerario
Inizieremo dal colombo di Traiano e ci dirigeremo verso Piazza Venezia prima di salire i gradini in leggera pendenza verso Piazza del Campidoglio per vedere il meraviglioso disegno della piazza che è stato tutto immaginato dal grande Michelangelo, e ora sede dei famosi Musei Capitolini.
Da qui camminiamo verso il Teatro di Marcello, spesso chiamato scherzosamente il piccolo Colosseo. Sebbene architettonicamente simile al Colosseo, il Teatro di Marcello è leggermente più antico, risale al 12 a.C. e non ospitava nessuno degli sport del sangue, e ora ospita alcuni fortunati residenti che vivono negli appartamenti sopra il teatro .
Durante la nostra passeggiata vedremo i numerosi ristoranti del quartiere e ci fermeremo per un assaggio del tradizionale gelato Kosher. Poi faremo una breve passeggiata fino alla magnifica Fontana delle Tartarughe, un vero capolavoro del tardo Rinascimento italiano, dove scoprirai come è stata notoriamente costruita in un solo giorno.
Costruito nel 1555, questo è il più antico ghetto ebraico. Il papa revocò tutti i diritti concessi agli ebrei romani e li bandì da ogni tipo di commercio e dalla possibilità di possedere proprietà immobiliari. Nonostante ciò, la comunità ebraica prosperò all'interno del commercio in via di sviluppo, una cucina unica e meravigliosa dentro le loro mura e persino il loro dialetto italiano. La Grande Sinagoga, ancora la terza più grande d'Europa, funziona oggi come luogo di preghiera e punto di riferimento culturale vitale per l'intera comunità ebraica di Roma.
Da qui è una brevissima passeggiata fino al Porticus Octaviae, un'enorme struttura costruita dall'imperatore Augusto in onore di sua sorella Ottavia. Dal XV agli inizi del XX secolo è stata la sede del mercato del pesce di Roma. È da qui che entriamo nel Ghetto stesso.
Concludendo all'Isola Tiberina, dove passato e presente scivolano senza soluzione di continuità in uno, l'isola è stata utilizzata dagli antichi romani come ospedale con il fiume che li aiutava come barriera naturale che aiuta a fermare la diffusione della malattia, e uno dei migliori ospedali di Roma può ancora essere trovato su quel sito oggi. Dando una bellissima vista sul fiume, l'isola è convenientemente collocata tra il Ghetto e il locale quartiere di Trastevere ed è ben collegata per tornare a qualsiasi parte della città.

Jamie was excellent! Very knowledgeable and engaging. We learned and saw so much that we wouldn't have noticed walking through Rome and the ghetto on our own, and he gave us a whole new perspective on the Jewish experience throughout the history of Rome. Highly recommended!
Ciao! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with RomanVacations, we are delighted that you enjoyed the tour with us!
Was an excellent tour despite the heat in Rome. James was well informed, enthusiastic and answered all the questions we may have had. The instructions to meet him were not clear (considering we didn't know the area) due to the construction at Triano 84. Nevertheless, it was a great tour and would highly recommend James.
Ciao! Many thanks for you kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed the tour with James. He is a fantastic guide who really knows his stuff. The Traiano 84 meeting place is used as it is the most successful of the meeting places we have attempted. The construction is unfortunate, but does still allow access to the meeting place. We hope you enjoy Rome as much as you enjoyed this tour, and we hope to see you back here soon! Safe travels!
Our guide Daniel seemed to have some information but lacked a clear way to tell us. The walking portion could have been rearranged and made shorter, especially on such a hot day.
Ciao David! Many thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We will speak with Daniel about how he gives his tours and ask that he do his best to keep customers in as much shade as possible. There is a lot of history related to the Jews and the Ghetto and our guides do a great job of fitting it in to a set time frame. We will mention to Daniel that he makes sure his tours flow well. We hope the rest of your time in Rome is enjoyable and we hope to see you back here soon. Safe travels!
Good tour guide, great experience. Any chance we can get Jamie’s contact information to personal thank him
Ciao! Many thanks for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed the tour with us. Feel free to send us an email directly and we will make sure it is passed onto Jamie.

Ciao Franki! Many thanks for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed the tour with us. Daniel is a wonderful guide and one who always makes his tours memorable. We hope to see you back in Rome soon. Safe travels!
I was very disappointed this tour was canceled with 20 minutes notice. As this was our only day in Rome left we were not able to reschedule.
Ciao, Thank you for your message. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation and completely understand your disappointment, especially as it was your last day in Rome. Unfortunately, our guide became unwell on the morning of the tour. Until the very last moment, they genuinely hoped they would be able to conduct the tour, which is why we were unable to provide earlier notice. As this was an early morning tour, the situation developed very quickly, leaving us with extremely limited time to react. As soon as it became clear that the tour could not operate, we immediately began searching for a replacement guide. Despite making every effort and contacting available guides, we were unfortunately unable to find someone qualified and available at such short notice. We fully understand that this situation affected your plans, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. While the circumstances were beyond our control, we did everything possible to avoid canceling the tour. Thank you for your understanding. Kind regards, Roman Vacations Team
