No other district of Rome keeps so well its medieval look as Trastevere which literally means 'across the river Tiber'. Originally away from the centre, now it is one of the most charming and interesting parts of the city also due to the roman street food available if you know where to go. Let's explore it and combine it with a visit to the church of St Mary and be sure you can make Italian friends here and practice Italian/roman language.
- Meeting on the Tiber island in front of church St Bartolomew
- Meeting time: 10.30 am or 6 pm
- tour lasts 3 hours including tasting of local street food
- tour ends on Ponte Sisto
Half a day into one of the most interesting districts of Rome, slightly outside the tourist centre with its crowds, and a chance to see where and how the modern Romans live. A lively and italian street market next to an ancient Roman Pyramid, a Protestant Cemetery where famous artists such as John Keats and Percy Shelly are buried next to an artificial hill made of ancient broken amphoras. Infact the word Testaccio refers to the Hill made of the broken oil and wine jars since here was the central Port of ancient Rome. A relaxing walk between ancient and modern, a blend of culture and roman traditions for everybody.
- 3 hour tour including a light lunch with local dishes at the market
- Meeting at 10.30 am outside metro Piramide (blue line)
