Trastevere Walking Tour with Local Private Guide

We are going to start diving into my favorite Trastevere neighborhood with an introduction to Italian history on the peak of the highest hill of the Eternal City, where locals enjoy wonderful panoramas. This is the spot with the most delicious and inexpensive Roman bars and restaurants.

This private walking tour is ideal during the first days of your Roman holidays since after it, I am sure, you are going to have lunch and dinner only in Trastevere

During this tour you will discover:

1. The story of the unification of Italy and the achievements of national hero, Giuseppe Garibaldi
2. Where shootings of the most beautiful movie about Italy “The Great Beauty” (La Grande Bellezza) and scenes of “Spectre” about James Bond took place
3. Interesting facts about the grandfather of the famous Trevi Fountain – the Fountain of Acqua Paola. Also, you will learn how to recognize authors of architectural masterpieces (fountains, churches)
4. Where to eat the best Italian pizza in Trastevere and the story of its creation
   
5. Where the love of the famous Raphael Santi used to live
6. My favorite restaurants and bars where I usually have dinner and invite friends. You will find out places where you can pay 30-45 euros per two for an excellent dinner with wine, while other tourists pay 50 and more euros in tourist places
7. Where Roman guys do marriage proposals to their lovers. The tour starts on Janiculum hill, where we will see the magnificent panorama of Rome and views of the Vatican

At the end of the tour, you will have a special:

Tasting of the Real Italian Pizza

By the end of the tour, we are going to visit the best Roman pizzeria for pizza and home wine degustation that are included in the tour price! Also, we will stop by my favorite local gelateria to try real gelato. After our walk, you will be able to distinguish home wine from store-bought, name differences between gelato and ice cream, understand what are the types of pizza and how this famous dish was created, and, most importantly, know where to eat during your stay in the Eternal City!
