Trastevere and Jewish Rome Tours

Rome has many neighbourhoods that are centrally located in the city, yet remain unexplored except by those in the know. Our Trastevere and Jewish Rome Tours is fascinating exploration through two of Rome’s most historically rich neighbourhoods. Learn another layer of Rome’s phenomenal history!

The Jewish area is known in Rome as the Ghetto. Both the Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere have histories that tell another side of life in Rome over the past 2,000 years. In this small group tour, you will be able to learn about the gripping history of the Jewish population in Rome, and their impact in the city’s ancient and contemporary life.

Thanks to Trastevere and Jewish Rome Tours you will cross the Tiber river on the oldest bridge in Rome and you will visit the outsides of a medieval synagogue and a Christian church. Your exploration of Trastevere will leave you daydreaming about sun-soaked cobblestone streets and daily life as a resident in the Eternal City. Located next to the Tiber river, both neighbourhoods are rich in architecture, history and beauty.

“We had a great time and a great tour of Trastevere and the Jewish Ghetto with our tour guide, Rachel. She was very knowledgeable and very personable. We had been to Rome before and thoroughly enjoyed getting a different, insider’s view of the city.” – K Teacher, Antioch, California

We start the tour in Piazza Trilussa at the fountain of Ponte Sisto, where you will enjoy wandering the charming streets of Trastevere. Today it is known for the narrow, quaint streets and abundance of tasty restaurants but it used to be the home to a large Jewish community from the Roman Republic until the end of the Middle Ages. Your tour guide will fill you with fascinating and enriching stories about this amazing picturesque area of the city. Here, in Trastevere, we will visit one of Rome’s most ancient Churches, the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, to admire the beautiful golden mosaics.

“John was able to show us places, and tell us stories, that touched on each of our interests.” – Kristen, Pacific Palisades, California

The Trastevere and Jewish Rome Tours continues across the famous island in the Tiber river, the Isola Tiberina.Though small, this island is filled with the greatest secrets of Rome’s beginnings. From the island, in order to reach the area of the Jewish Ghetto, we will cross and get a glimpse of Rome’s most ancient bridge, Ponte Fabrizio.

We finish in the Jewish Ghetto, stopping first in front of the Great Synagogue of Rome, which we will admire from the outside. In this neighbourhood you will hear the stories of the oppressive creation of this area, where its inhabitants lived in crowded and unfair conditions and the eventual tearing down of it’s restrictive
walls and regulations. You will also delight in the stories from Ancient Rome about the events in the open air theatre, the Teatro Marcello and the temple built by Augustus Caesar next to it.

With our Trastevere and Jewish Rome Tours enjoy the charming cobblestone streets, modest squares and the small and picturesque alleyways of this spectacular ancient neighbourhood. We finish in the heart of the neighbourhood, where you’ll savor the moment and enjoy a delicious coffee or gelato on us!

ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY
When you book a LivItaly Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind though that in order to accommodate traveling families and friends, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order not to split groups who are traveling together. On that same note, you may find yourself on tour with less than six people. As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travelers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
