Description:
Escape the crowds of Rome and venture deep into the more traditional districts that most tourists don't see. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the fascinating Jewish Ghetto to learn about the area's incredible history as well as explore the Trastevere neighborhood, popular among locals.
Your tour begins across the Tiber River in Trastevere, often described as “Rome's favorite neighborhood.” Admire the splendid façade of the Basilica of St. Mary in Trastevere, and then stroll through quiet winding streets until you reach Isola Tiberina, the island on the Tiber. Cross Ponte Fabricio, the oldest bridge in the city, which gives access into the Jewish Ghetto.
Life in the ghetto during the 16th and 17th centuries was one of extreme poverty. Learn about how the residents of the area lived at that time and look at it now, full of life and a destination for meeting with friends and enjoying the evening. Stroll through the medieval alleys that survived the restoration of the area and admire the gorgeous Fountain of Turtles by Giacomo della Porta.
Marvel at the fascinating archaeological area of the Porticus Octaviae, the remains of an ancient Roman building. Your expert guide introduces to you the Synagogue of Rome, built after Italy's unification in 1870, when the Jews were given Italian citizenship. The tour ends here, in order to allow you to enter the synagogue at your leisure.
