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.

Continue your journey underground into Vicus Caprarius, the “City of Water.” This hidden archaeological site reveals the remains of ancient Roman life and the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, the same system that has supplied the Trevi Fountain with water for over 2,000 years.

A great experience! Andrea was a great guide: clear, passionate and full of little anecdotes that make the visit really lively. The welcome at the check-in with Hichem was equally impeccable, very warm and professional. The discovery of the Trevi Fountain was really fascinating. The pace of the visit was perfect, neither too fast nor too slow, with enough stops to take pictures and enjoy the place to the fullest. I recommend 100%!

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.
