Uncover Rome’s hidden dramas on this 2.5-hour guided tour through centuries of passion, power, and intrigue. Follow your local guide, Valeria, as she brings to life the stories of noble families, fearless women, and fateful events that shaped the Eternal City. “It’s like stepping into a living theatre,” she says, “where every corner whispers a secret.”
The experience begins with a 1.5-hour guided visit inside Castel Sant’Angelo, the city’s imposing fortress by the Tiber. As you explore its chambers, terraces, and ancient passageways, you’ll uncover tales of imprisonment, escape, and forbidden love. Hear the haunting legend of Beatrice Cenci, whose tragic story still echoes within the castle walls, and learn how Puccini’s Tosca found its dramatic finale right here - where love and sacrifice meet under the Roman sky.
After leaving the castle, continue your walk along Via dei Coronari, a street rich in Renaissance charm and once a lively route for pilgrims and traders. Along the way, discover anecdotes of secret affairs and hidden passions that once unfolded in these very streets.
The tour concludes in the breathtaking Piazza Navona, surrounded by fountains, art, and timeless Roman atmosphere - the perfect place to reflect on the stories and legends you’ve just uncovered.
