Rome: Trevi Fountain & Vicus Caprarius City of Water Tour
Description
Discover one of Rome’s most fascinating hidden worlds beneath the Trevi Fountain — where ancient engineering still works beneath the modern city. Begin your experience at the iconic Trevi Fountain, where your expert guide reveals its myths, legends, and extraordinary engineering. With exclusive access to the restricted basin area, you’ll see the fountain from a rare and intimate perspective that most visitors never experience.

I would recommend this tour to anyone who comes to see one of the most famous fountains in the world. Me and my girlfriend Sara were very excited to hear about the fountain story and what is hiding under it from our guide Andrea , she was very knowledgeable about it and she also suggested us a very good place for gelato after and some other directions we asked. Definitely will come back later this year i hope to get my parents to see and hear the story.
