Begin your exploration at the breathtaking Giardino degli Aranci (Gardens of Oranges), a real haven with a stunning panorama of Rome, featuring the majestic Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica as its centerpiece.
Delve into the medieval wonders of the Basilica of Santa Sabina, showcasing high aisles and a splendid apse
Embark on a journey through time at the Basilica of SS. Alessio e Bonifacio, a 4th-century A.D. masterpiece renowned for its magnificent sculptures and mosaics. Wander through the medieval cloister, immersing yourself in the echoes of the past.
Discover the secrets of Malta Knights Square, once the headquarters of the Templar Knights, with its vantage point overlooking the Tevere River. This square hides one of the most worldwide famous secrets of Rome: from the lock of one of its arcades it is possible to see the dome of St. Peter in its magnificence and with the green outline of the tall hedges of the garden, getting a magical frame hard to forget. If there is not too much queue, you will also be able to peek from the lock for this unique visual effect.
We then descend from the Aventine towards Circus Maximus located between the Aventine and Palatine hills: a venue for games since the foundation of the city. Finally, it is time to enjoy with your local guide a nice break with a typical Italian “gelato”. It is the last chance to have some talk with your friendly guide and say hello till next time!

Hill famous for the historic climb of the hill by the plebeians in contrast with the patricians, where Menenius Agrippa acted as a mediator. The Orange Garden is beautiful, where from the terrace you can observe half of Rome...
Grazie per questa gradita recensione! Il Giardino degli Aranci con la sua vista su Roma e la storia dell'Aventino sono proprio ciò che amiamo far scoprire ai nostri ospiti. Ci farebbe piacere accompagnarla di nuovo in futuro in un altro dei nostri itinerari unici. A presto!
