Overview

Leave the tourist trail behind and discover some of Rome’s hidden gems with this small-group guided tour.

Your journey through the layers of Ancient Rome begins at the Basilica of San Clemente, just a few steps from the Colosseum. Here, you will be met by your passionate and experienced guide, who will first show you the beautiful, mosaic-filled 12th-century church before descending underground to discover the 4th-century Basilica and Roman temple.
Your guide will then take you to the Basilica and Monastery of the Four Crowned Saints (Quattro Santi Coronati), where you will explore this fascinating church and marvel at the medieval frescoes before concluding at the most important sanctuary in all of Rome, the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran—the oldest papal Basilica in the world.
This tour will provide you with a clear understanding of life and religion in Rome and how it has changed over 2,000 years. It's been crafted for curious travellers willing to go beyond the beaten path.
