What to expect
Your guide meets you at Navona Square and walks you through the piazza, explaining the families and feuds that shaped it. Next is the Pantheon—you'll see the oculus and hear how it survived centuries. At Theatre of Pompey, your guide recounts Caesar's murder in detail, painting the political conspiracies that followed. After the walking portion, you're brought to a casual Roman restaurant. Your guide presents the three-course menu options, places the order, provides a glass of rosé, then steps back so you can dine without a microphone in the room.
Good to know
Dinner costs €35 per person, paid in cash to the restaurant. The tour includes wine and limoncello but not the meal itself. Walking is moderate; wear comfortable shoes. Public transport nearby if needed.
