Experience an opportunity to take a trip back to ancient Rome, to a place where mass tourism has not yet arrived. Discover and touch wonderful structures hidden within the Eternal City and preserved through time. Wander the magnificent aqueducts of Rome, four of them located in a park frequented only by locals.

Learn more about the history of the structures and their significance in ancient Rome, and find out how aqueducts brought water to the city via long channels supported by arches. Follow the guide along the tour, where you will have the chance to see Aqueduct Park, Marcio Aqueduct, the Claudio Aqueduct, and the Anio Vetus Aqueduct.

Listen as the guide explains how they were built, how they worked, and even how Rome, from the time of its earliest construction, was so completely dependent on this water supply that when the Barbarians invaded the city, the first thing they did was cut the water supply to the aqueducts.

Soak in the sights along the way and pass the Mariana Canal, the ancient canal whose construction was ordered by Pope Sixtus V. Stop to try some delicious local Roman food after finishing the tour.
