## Description

Discover the most fascinating subterranean ruins of Rome on an unforgettable journey below the surface of the Eternal City. This exclusive tour of Rome’s undergrounds includes three of the city’s most renowned archaeological sites, such as the Basilica of San Clemente, the Roman Houses on the Caelian Hill, Vicus Caprarius—one of the ancient cisterns connected to the Aqua Virgo aqueduct that still feeds the Trevi Fountain—the Stadium of Domitian or Domus of Palazzo Valentini.

Descending beneath modern streets, you will uncover a pulsating city hidden beneath the city itself. Like stepping into a time machine, this experience transports you back through centuries of history, revealing ancient temples, homes, and infrastructure that tell the story of everyday life in Imperial Rome. Each site offers a different perspective on how the city was built, inhabited, and transformed over time.

You will be continuously charmed and amazed by how much of Rome’s true essence can be discovered in its underground layers—its beating inner heart, preserved in stone. Rome is an extraordinary open-air museum, but its undergrounds are equally breathtaking, offering a powerful and unexpected glimpse into the city’s most ancient and captivating past.
