You will be impressed to know a Rome that you did not think could exist, and that has its history since the 4th century BC -

The district know as ‘Trastevere’ in Rome translates to ‘across the Tiber.’ It was home to Jews and emancipated slaves in antique times. Known for being one of the oldest and most picturesque areas in the city, Trastevere is steeped in history, myth, and subterranean places. Our expedition starts by unearthing the hidden treasures of the area, such as Rome’s eldest synagogue. Our tour guides us through a variety of unique churches and ancient labyrinthine streets. We then traverse the river to Tiber Island. Here, shockingly, a group of monks safeguard an antiquated subterranean burial place beneath their monastery, which contains preserved skeleton remains.
