5.00Unbelievable experience!!! We were fortunate enough to have Neomi as our guide, late October 2025. Her knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm took our tour to another level! This is a “behind the scenes,” literally “underground” tour! DO NOT pass up this destination!!

5.00Naomi was great and her enthusiasm is contagious. The tour isn’t super long or strenuous which was also a nice break from all the walking we’ve been doing.
Thank you Naomi!

5.00Lovely and informative experience. Much cooler than just visiting the top layer. It was the perfect length of time, not too long, not too short. Naomi was incredibly informative, engaging, but not overwhelming. Truly an amazing guide and experience.

5.00Noemi was a passionate and knowledgeable guide. Her personal approach to telling the story of this particular archeological site made it all worth while. Fascinating artifacts and well preserved history. Definitely a very good tour and a great value. It would have been nice to see the piping and water delivery system for the fountain but we were informed that is only accessible by municipal employees.
Quick fun tour!

5.00Our travel guide was wonderful, she was very knowledgeable on the subject and you could tell her deep interest in it. We were thrilled to visit the underground Vicus Caprarius and she gave great directions for going to the Trevi Fountain after, as well as letting us know about the Fountain of Love legend!
