I rarely leave negative reviews, but unfortunately our experience with Rome with Silvia Tofoni was extremely disappointing and completely disrupted our time in Rome. We had booked and fully paid for a Colosseum Underground & Roman Forum tour for Sunday morning. However, on Friday — while we were not even in Rome yet — a man called us asking why we were not at the meeting point for the tour. We immediately explained that our booking and voucher clearly confirmed the tour for Sunday, not Friday. The man informed us that he was “only the tour coordinator” and that our names were on their Friday list. Concerned, I immediately contacted the company to explain the obvious scheduling mistake. Unfortunately, instead of listening carefully or trying to help resolve the issue, the manager abruptly stated that she would refund us. Within minutes, I received the refund notification from my bank account. What was most upsetting was not only the mistake itself, but the complete lack of accountability, explanation, apology, or effort to help us find an alternative solution. As many travelers know, Colosseum Underground tickets are extremely difficult to secure at the last minute, especially over a busy weekend. Because of this error, we completely missed the opportunity to visit one of Rome’s most iconic and important sites during our trip. I attempted to contact the company again afterward by both phone and email in hopes they could still assist us somehow, but my calls were blocked and my emails went unanswered. Mistakes can happen in tourism, but professionalism is shown in how a company handles those mistakes. Sadly, this experience showed very poor customer care and communication. I would not recommend this company based on our experience.
It was good to see the underground. It was smaller than expected and very cramped. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about all things Roman. She went on for a long time. I’d prefer to have been able to walk more rather than stand around. Thought it would be more tunnels.
The visit was very interesting and especially the guide Alessandra very engaging. I only have one note on the title of the tour. Speaking of the underground Trevi Fountain suggests that you will also visit part of the back of the fountain by accessing for example from the side door in Via della Stamperia. In fact, the Fountain will see what is external and usable to all and you will know stories and legends around the construction of this magnificent work. Very interesting but the title is misleading. In fact, it is about the history and the underground visit, the virgin aqueduct, from the Trevi Fountain to the Barcaccia, passing through Via del Nazarene where you can see the external parts of the aqueduct. The visit to the archaeological area of Vicus Caprarius is the only underground part but it is part of the Trevi district not the fountain. It remains a beautiful and interesting visit to learn to look around.
We found ourselves with our guide Alessandra in the morning in Piazza dei crociferi next to the fountain of trevi very good at explanation but also very nice to discover an underground Rome that you do not expect then we took a walk until you get to the Spanish Steps explained the route that the aqueduct does under the buildings of the city.
Visit highly recommended. A pleasant afternoon outing made in an afternoon where obviously Trevi was very crowded but carried out very well. We had already made a guided tour in June and returning to Rome for the holidays we did not hesitate to contact her. Emanuele is an excellent guide, very prepared and engaging.
I can say that the explanation was very detailed, but the part outside, unfortunately there were so many people that it was difficult to follow.
The archaeological site is interesting but much more interesting the guide. We went with a group guide Walking with Silvia and we greatly appreciated the guide that made it possible to reconstruct the route of the aqueduct and the remains of different historical periods
For those who expect to see the Roman aqueduct that feeds the Trevi Fountain will certainly be disappointed! This is one of the many excavations of the URBE in which, with much imagination, you can rebuild a few meters of ancient Roman aqueduct near an equally imaginary Roman Domus: without a guide you can not even imagine the Domus. If you are expecting engineering and/or hydraulics from ancient Rome, avoid wasting money.
Gentile Cliente, sono Silvia Tofoni, responsabile di Passeggiando con Silvia. Mi dispiace molto leggere che il sito archeologico abbia disatteso le sue aspettative. Si tratta di un luogo normalmente molto apprezzato e di grande sedimentazione archeologica. Tuttavia la recensione di cui sopra dovrebbe far riferimento al nostro servizio, che sono sicura essere stato di qualità, in termini di professionalità, cortesia e approfondimento delle spiegazioni. Purtroppo noi non siamo i gestori del sito archeologico, e dunque ogni commento rispetto all'eventuale apprezzamento del luogo va indirizzato al VICUS CAPRARIUS. Noi in qualità di TOUR OPERATOR offriamo servizi di visita guidata in ogni monumento e sito archeologico di Roma, senza giudizi personali, ma unicamente nell'ottica di offrire a tutti la possibilità di fruire di una visita guidata ovunque. Spero di incontrarla in altre occasioni. A presto SILVIA TOFONI
Fantastic guided tour of the basement of the Trevi fountain, in particular the Vicis Caprarius, we were amazed by the archaeological site and the skill of the guide. We had a great time, very professional. Experience to try with Rome with Silvia.
What a surprise and a great one. Our tour guide told us so many interesting facts about the Roman water ways that are still in existence and one that is supplying all of the historic fountains in the city.
