Medieval Rome extends across the banks of the Tiber River . While her remnants are not omnipresent to the untrained eye, we will lead you through her 1000+ year old heritage...
Itinerary
Day 1
Our tour begins in one of Rome's most attractive residential area's known as Trastevere (Across the Tiber). This upscale neighborhood boasts several famous churches from the Middle Ages, such as San Bartolomeo all'Isola, Basilica di Santa Cecilia and Rome's crown jewel of sacred Medieval architecture, Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere, with its golden mosaics and stunning iconic art. Our tour goes into the heart of Trastevere, to Piazza Santa Maria Trastevere. We will lead you a mere one hundred meters away for the square to the ancient river island of Isola Tiberina, and its footbridge, Ponte Fabricio. This same bridge also leads you directly in Rome's Jewish quarter. Further south down the Tiber banks we will arrive at the Roman Temples of the Vestal Virgins and Fortune. Just across from this monuments is the 6th century church of Sta. Maria in Cosmedin, where tourists stop to place their hands in the Bocca della Verita (Mouth of Truth), a long time tradition for visitors coming to Rome. Our riverside tour will not be complete without a stop by Castel Sant'Angelo, a refuge to Rome's popes in times of war, as well as Hadrian's Mausoleum , Ponte Sant' Angelo and the Augustus' Ara Pacis, the altar of peace constructed by Rome's first emperor.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
