Walk from the Spanish Steps to Trevi Fountain, tracing ancient aqueducts and visiting a hidden Roman water reservoir with a local guide.

About this tour

Follow the story of Rome’s ancient water system on a small-group walk from the Spanish Steps to Trevi Fountain. With no more than 12 guests, you can explore at an easy pace and hear how the city grew around its remarkable ruins.

Begin at the Spanish Steps, where your local guide shares the story behind their name and introduces a nearby fountain still fed by an aqueduct built in 19 BC. Walk along the aqueduct’s route and look for traces emerging between modern buildings. At Trevi Fountain, continue beyond the busy square to discover an underground water reservoir built by the ancient Romans more than 2,000 years ago. Skip-the-line entry to the underground aqueduct is included, and the tour is suitable for families and children.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.87 from 243 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.8. Top 16% in Rome means it ranks in the top 16% of tours in Rome by this score.
