Trevi District Underground Guided Tour

Explore the Trevi District from fountain to underground ruins on an English-guided tour of Vicus Caprarius.

Getting started

Report to Vicolo del Puttarello, 25 at least 15 minutes before your selected time. This is not an entrance ticket, so you first check in with your expert English-speaking guide for the guided tour. After a brief introduction, you enter Vicus Caprarius and begin your visit to the Trevi District underground area.

What to expect

Trevi Fountain

Your experience begins at the Trevi Fountain, the largest Baroque fountain in Rome and one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks.

Features

• You see the iconic Trevi Fountain up close and have time to make a wish into its basin before heading below the modern city streets.
• As part of your guided tour, your English-speaking guide explains how the Trevi Fountain connects to the Vicus Caprarius ruins and prepares you for what you will see underground.

Vicus Caprarius archaeological area

Then you move into the Vicus Caprarius archaeological area, an underground complex of ruins dating back to Ancient Rome located beneath the Trevi District.

Features

• With your Vicus Caprarius entry ticket, you enter the archaeological area for a guided visit after meeting your guide near the Trevi Fountain.
• You observe how the Trevi Fountain's water filters through ancient masonry, revealing the layers of construction that link the present-day fountain to the Roman structures below.
• The guided tour highlights key findings such as fragments of polychrome marble, the head of Alessandro Helios, a treasure trove of 800 coins, and the Spatheia, showing how these artifacts help reconstruct daily life in this district.
