A jewel of a find - You don’t have to be an archaeologist to appreciate this recent find of ancient artefacts beneath the streets and buildings close to Trevi Fountain. Well worth finding the time to take this tour which for us was enhanced by the enthusiastic and engaging Noemi - she was fabulous. Find the time to take this tour because it helps you piece together the amazing work the ancient Romans accomplished.

Unique history and hidden gem underneath the trevi fountain - We all loved our trip back in time with Alessia. We felt so well informed and entertained. It’s a fascinating and curious place. Shout out to Alessia for her enthusiasm and expertise! 10 out of 10!

It’s all about the water - It was very educational! It was the history of how it was discovered and how the beautiful fountains receive the water.

Underground Domus Tour - Recent archaeological findings regarding the first water sources. Our guide, Naomi, was passionate and very knowledgeable. The tour really had nothing to do with Trevi Fountain other than talk about its water source.

Not What I Expected - While the tour was interesting, it didn't really have anything to do with the Trevi Fountain other than it was in a small museum nearby. You can get a ticket and audio headset the museum for a lot less.

Terrible was scammed. - We could not trace the office to meet up following Google maps. The Trevi fountain is right there so you really don’t need a guide we didn’t know that when we we’re booking so we were okay we found it but did not get to see the underground. No one contacted me and we lost our money on Watsaap at least . I repeat scammers!!!
