Itinerary
Meet your guide in front of the Trevi Religious Articles shop and find out together that the Trevi fountain is much more than a throw of a coin. Go beyond its captivating beauty and discover all the details that most tourists miss. Learn about its fascinating history and discover the mythological figures that take shape gracefully out of the raw stone below. Feel and hear the power of water, and perceive the message of this iconic masterpiece exactly as intended by its designer. Take a moment to admire the fusion of beauty and genius. Please note: Access to the Trevi Fountain restricted basin area (€2 fee). The guide will lead you to an excellent viewing point at the public piazza level.
Then immerse into the newly uncovered archeological site 9 meters below the ground. Find the only functioning ancient aqueduct which still supplies water to the fountain above, and visit the remains of an imperial Domus. Travel back in time and touch the millenary stratification beneath the streets of Rome.

Traveler reviews
Excellent
It was brilliant getting to see the underside of Rome, and the guide was so knowledgeable and friendly
Disappointed
Underground Rome was awesome but was unable to get close to fountain! The tour guide told us we had to get another ticket to get closer to fountain so that was a disappointment.
Underwhelming overpriced tour
Unfortunately the tour was less than what we’d hoped for. Our tour guide wasn’t all that enthusiastic which was disappointing given the cool context of the tour. We visited the underground via the museum called Vicus Carparius which is €4 to visit and although would have been self-guided feels like it would have offered more information than what we got. Our 7 year old wasn’t engaged at all which wasn’t a huge expectation but for a tour labeled good for kids it should have been a bit more lively.
Short and to the point.
Short and sweet however it did not include entry into the Trevi fountain foreshore. Guide was very knowledgeable
A great, information excursion
A great, informative experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We met at the prearranged location and promptly went underground. The area was very busy with other tours, but everything was carried out professionally. Would recommend
