What you'll see and do
Vicus Caprarius – the City of Water
The structures of an imperial imperial domus, the castellum aquae of the Virgin Aqueduct and the evocative exhibits (including the famous face of Alessandro helios), finds discovered during the renovation of the former Cinema Trevi. On a journey backward in time, it is possible to touch Rome’s millennial stratification and observe the archaeological evidence of the great events that characterised the city’s history, from the realisation of Aqua Virgo to the fire of Nero, from the sack of Alarico to the siege of the Goths.

Trevi Fountain
The most famous of the Roman fountains: a jewel of water and stone. It is tradition during your citytrip Rome to throw a coin into the Fontana di Trevi – keep your eyes closed and throw the coin into the water over your left shoulder using your right hand. According to legend, the person who throws the coin will one day return to Rome. Did you throw two coins into the fountain? You will find your love in Rome. Prefer to get married (or divorced)? Throw three coins into the fountain. Every week, the municipality of Rome cleans the Fontana di Trevi and donates a large portion of the proceeds (1.4 million annually) to a charity that helps poor families.

Naomi was an excellent...
Naomi was an excellent guide and expressed so much interesting and entertaining information. Doing this tour before seeing the Trevi Fountain made the whole day so much more memorable and exciting!

Two stars
While this tour was interesting, it was also very short. There was no mention of Gelato at the end..

Fantastic experience
Enjoyed the guide and tour. Lots of interesting information and kinda neat to this from underneath the streets of Rome

This experience provides...
This experience provides you with a detailed explanation of the early Roman water system. The aqueduct underground, the museum associated with it and the knowledge provided by the Tour Guide made the experience very worth while. In addition, this tour came with the ticket allowing you access to the lower levels of the Trevi Fountain for an up close view and picture taking session of this fountain masterpiece. Our Tour package also included a gelato at the end which was well received on a very hot day. The Tour does not mean you will go “under” the Trevi Fountain. If you are thinking this is what you will see, you will be disappointed. However, you will see the earliest infrastructure of the water system feeding some of the most famous fountains in Roma.

Fantastic guide
Elena was my guide today, which made all the difference. I can see how this tour could be easily accomplished by simply buying an audio guide and touring the cistern by yourself; however Elena’s knowledge was so deep and her enthusiasm for the subject so great, that I couldn’t help but enjoy myself. If the other guides are as good as she, then it’s worth purchasing the tour.

Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato cost?
+
Prices start at $53 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato?
+
Included: Vicus Caprarius Guided tour; Trevi Fountain Access Ticket; Assistance by the Touristation Staff; Italian Gelato; and Vicus Caprarius reserved entry ticket. Not included: Pick up from and to the hotel; and Food and Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato?
+
The meeting point is at Vicus Caprarius. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not suitable for Wheelchair users and people with mobility impairments. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Trevi Fountain District Underground Domus Tour and Gelato if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Rome. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
