I'm Rob, founder of Through Eternity Tours and a licensed guide in Rome. Join me as I take you on a journey through two of Rome’s most enchanting neighborhoods: the leafy, panoramic Janiculum Hill and historic Trastevere.
If you’re looking for breathtaking views of the Eternal City, you need to visit the Gianicolo! We’ll begin our day with a leisurely stroll up this historic hill, where panoramic vistas of Rome’s skyline await. Along the way, we’ll encounter monuments dedicated to Italy’s unification, including the grand equestrian statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi, a national hero. This steep hill is steeped in history, and offers the perfect backdrop for some unforgettable photo opportunities. Pack your camera!
Next, we’ll explore the serene beauty of Rome’s Botanical Gardens, a hidden oasis of greenery and peaceful trails offering a tranquil escape from the bustling city streets.
Then it’s time to head down to lively Trastevere, where we’ll lose ourselves amidst a warren of winding cobblestone streets that conceal medieval churches glittering with mosaics and stunning frescoes. The highlight is Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of Rome’s oldest and most beautiful churches, renowned for its shimmering gold mosaics.
Along the way I’ll introduce you to the vibrant street food culture of this neighborhood, from crispy supplì to delicious pizza al taglio—perfect on-the-go snacks that will keep the energy flowing as we explore this wonderful neighborhood!
