TOUR
FOOD AND WINE TOURS
We will meet in Piazza Farnese and, taking one of the charming narrow streets, we will arrive at a Forno, where we will start with a must: a slice of freshly baked hot pizza.
Next we will visit a grocery store that will impress you with its selection of cheeses and hams from different parts of Italy-all DOP (protected and certified origin) products.
When in Rome, you do as the Romans do… so it’s time for the aperitivo, a traditional moment before dinner….
Toast with a glass of prosecco and some appetizers in the cozy atmosphere of a local bar.
Then you will be ready to enter an authentic restaurant for a food and wine tasting….
You’ll taste a glass of white wine and a glass of red wine and learn how to pair them with food, precisely with 2 types of homemade pasta and some seasonal vegetables, and to finish, you’ll try a dessert wine or a digestif, but leave room for homemade ice cream to be enjoyed in a typical ice cream parlor.
FULL DAY TOUR
Splora the Castelli Romani, so close to Rome but far from the hustle and bustle of the capital.
Immerse yourself in the relaxing atmosphere of the picturesque countryside, among the local vineyards.
Learn about the region, the native grapes, the magical interaction between the soil, the winds and the plants, and find these elements in the glass.
Wine is pure magic!
Enjoy a walk through the vineyards followed by a wine tasting led by a professional sommelier.
Learn about ancient wine-making traditions dating back to Roman times.
You will also have the opportunity to taste pure extra virgin olive oil on fresh homemade bread.
Next, you will move to a picturesque lakeside town: Castel Gandolfo, the Pope’s summer residence.
Here, you’ll find a charming restaurant overlooking a lake, a body of water in the crater of an extinct volcano.
Founded in 1882, the restaurant has an underground wine cellar carved out of volcanic rock, which houses an extraordinary collection of more than 35,000 bottles of wine from which you can choose your favorite to enjoy during lunch.
You will enjoy delicious dishes made from fresh, high-quality ingredients with a view of the blue-green lake.
This unique experience will offer you a perfect combination of flavors and breathtaking scenery.
ETRUSCAN TOUR.
VISIT TO THE WONDERFUL MUSEUM OF VILLA GIULIA
Discover the wonderful masterpieces of the National Etruscan Museum dedicated to the Etruscan civilization, housed in the Renaissance gem of Villa Giulia in Rome.
Founded in 1889 with the aim of collecting all the pre-Roman antiquities of Latium, the southern part of Etruria and Umbria belonging to the Etruscan and Faliscan civilizations.
The museum’s most famous treasure is the terracotta funerary monument, the almost life-size Sarcophagus of the Spouses.
ETRUSCAN NECROPOLIS OF BANDITACCIA
(The monumental Necropolis of Banditaccia, elected a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located on a tufa plateau about 10 km long.
The distinguishing feature of this necropolis, an incredible treasure trove of knowledge, is that the design followed by the Etruscans in its construction clearly aimed at recreating the “urban” structure of the city of the living: the tombs are in fact arranged along a main road, the “street of the underworld,” and follow a checkerboard pattern, with smaller roads intersecting each other, tracing a complete urban grid.
The tombs are arranged along the sides of the road and for the most part are mounds with a large circular base dug into the tuffaceous rock or purpose-built, containing a large mound of earth within which is faithfully replicated the architectural structure of a house, an incredible succession of domestic rooms, crossroads, decorations, and portals included in an urban context whose liveliness one can paradoxically sense.
The Necropolis includes four hundred burials and covers a historical period from the 8th to the 2nd century BC. Among the most important tombs discovered are the Tomb of the Reliefs, the Tomb of the Shields and Chairs, the Tomb of the Five Chairs, and the Tomb of the Alcove.
The Sarcophagus of the Bride and Groom was found in one of the tombs in the necropolis; it is dated around 520 BCE. The sarcophagus is a terracotta sculpture on the lid of which depicts a married couple lying on a triclinium, the type of bed used during banquets.
The visit ends with a tour of the Cerveteri Etruscan Museum.

UNDERGROUND OF ROME
The tour of underground Rome will begin with the Basilica of San Clemente, built in the 12th century.
St. Clement’s is not only a fascinating church to visit for its decoration and early Christian remains, but also for its underground levels that date back to the first century A.D., when the famous fire ordered by Emperor Nero in Rome took place.
This wonderful church in Rome is located at the foot of the northern slope of the Caelian Hill, a short distance from the Colosseum and the Oppio Park.
Once you reach the lower level, you can see a Roman house from the imperial period separate from the mint of ancient Rome built by the last of the Flavian family, Domitian.
In the early third century AD, the inner courtyard of the insula was transformed into a Mithraeum, which is the only pagan shrine dedicated to Mithras, the sun god, still visible in Rome today.
Roman houses on the Caelian Hills.
Wealthy Roman families owned beautiful domus in the green areas of Rome.
Texts mention some of them, and archaeological excavations have brought them to light.
Literary and epigraphic evidence shows that the great senatorial domus were located mainly in the hills surrounding the Capitoline Hill and Palatine Hill.
After visiting St. Clement’s, the tour will continue through the church of Saints John and Paul, Romans who had served Constantine II and were beheaded by his anti-Christian successor, Julian, for refusing to serve in his court.
The church was built over their homes.
TRASTEVERE AND TIBER ISLAND
From the Latin term “Trans-Tiberim,” this was the only neighborhood on the right bank of the river.
It was born with Augustus as a neighborhood for the poor and foreigners.
It was the first residence of the Jewish community after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.
It retained its popular charm until the 1960s and then transformed into the city’s most picturesque neighborhood.
A walk along Trastevere to discover its alleys, people and churches is a must in Rome.
The “trasteverini” (the inhabitants of the neighborhood) consider themselves the true Romans: in summer the “Noantri” festival is one of the evening attractions with live music and markets.
Opposite Trastevere is the Tiber Island with the oldest bridges, the “Fabricio” and the “Cestio.”
The island is shaped like a boat in the middle of the river.
The Romans dedicated it to the God of Medicine Aesculapius and it has been linked to the care of people ever since, still housing a famous hospital.
On the island we can visit the Medieval Church founded in 1000 with the relics of St. Bartholomew.

AVENTINE
Rome is known as the city of 7 hills.
The Aventine is the one linked to Remus, one of the twin founders of Rome.
Initially the hill was inhabited by the plebs, here they clashed with the patricians.
Through the centuries it was transformed into an exclusive neighborhood.
Even today it is still a very exclusive residential area of the city.
In the Middle Ages it became home to Eastern monks, and here we can visit some of the most beautiful early Christian churches in Rome: Santa Sabina with the oldest wooden door, Sant’Anselmo with the ancient herbarium and San Alessio.
In the square of the Knights of Malta you can also see through the famous “keyhole.”
