​Each of the seven walks is designed to last two hours. 

1. Secrets of the City​

Avoiding the crowds, wherever possible, we explore the centro storico, the historical heart of Rome, in search of some of the many fascinating quirks and curiosities that most people (including many Romans) fail to spot. 

2. Trastevere

Trastevere, a picturesque and lively district, is home to some of Rome's finest churches, with treasures ranging from medieval mosaics and hidden frescoes to a late masterpiece by that genius of Baroque sculpture, Gian Lorenzo Bernini. 

3. A Matter of Mosaics

Rome boasts the greatest concentration of medieval mosaics in the world. On this tour the focus will be on the mosaics in the churches of Santa Pudenziana, Santi Cosma e Damiano, Santa Prassede, San Marco and Santa Maria Maggiore.  

4. Monuments of Ancient Rome

We step beyond the Forum to see some of the many ancient monuments and structures that survive elsewhere in the city, such as the Theatre of Marcellus, the temples of Hercules and Portunus, the oldest bridge in Rome and the site of the most famous assassination in history! 

5. The Fountains of Rome

There are in the region of 2,000 fountains in Rome, more than in any other city in the world; including the celebrated Fontana di Trevi. On this tour we step off the beaten track to see a choice selection of some of the other delightful fountains which adorn Rome, ranging in date from the 17th to the 20th centuries. ​

6. Bernini, Borromini ​& the Baroque

Rome is the Baroque city, par excellence, and in the 17th century it was home to two of the titans in the history of art, namley Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini. This tour will explore a choice selection of their work, including the churches of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane and Sant' Andrea al Quirinale. I will also introduce you to one of the unsung heroes of Baroque art and his stunning frescoes in the church of Sant' Ignazio di Loyola.  ​

7. Mussolini's Rome

This tour explores a side of Rome that is seen but rarely noticed. During his two decades as dictator, Benito Mussolini shaped a large part of the city that we experience today. Il Duce's name might have disappeared from most inscriptions, and the fasces have been largely erased or defaced,  but his extensive imprint on the fabric of Rome remains.
