Walk Rome's layers: from the Campidoglio's overlook to the Ghetto's stories to Bernini's fountains

A 3-hour guided walking tour of Rome starting at Piazza Santi Apostoli, moving through the Imperial Forums and Campidoglio, then into the Jewish Ghetto, past Tiber Island, and ending at Piazza Navona. The guide speaks English, Italian, French or German, and ice cream at one of Rome's best shops is included. Climb four flights to the Campidoglio terrace for views of the Roman Forum, see the 2,000-year-old Theater of Marcellus, and walk the Ghetto's traditional streets with their Synagogue and Roman ruins. Headsets are provided for groups above eight people.

Step-by-step itinerary

The Experience

You meet at Piazza Santi Apostoli, a central square ringed by aristocratic palaces and dominated by a basilica with impressive frescoes. From there the route moves toward the archaeological heart of Rome: the Imperial Forums come into view, and then you climb four flights of stairs to the Piazza del Campidoglio, Michelangelo's square perched above the Roman Forum. The Vittoriano—the massive national monument at Piazza Venezia—and the Theater of Marcellus, a 2,000-year-old structure still standing, anchor the first half of the walk.

The second half takes you into the Rome Jewish Ghetto, a traditional district where the guide tells the community's history. You see the Synagogue from outside, then cross to Tiber Island on the Tiber River, a quiet spot in the middle of the city. Campo dei Fiori comes next, the square where the philosopher Giordano Bruno was executed and where public gatherings once took place. The walk ends at Piazza Navona, one of Rome's largest squares, where Bernini's fountains dominate the space.

Ice cream at one of Rome's best gelato shops is built into the tour, so you're not hunting for it or paying extra. If your group is larger than eight, you'll get a headset so you can hear the guide clearly as you move through crowded squares and narrow streets. The whole route is walkable for all fitness levels, and if you're traveling with small children, they can ride in a stroller.
