This tour beneath modern Rome is like being invited on an archeological adventure that includes spelunking but one that--thankfully--requires absolutely no gear and you don't get dirty. Anestis led me through the archeological remains of there is a stretch of the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, inaugurated in 19 BC Rome, spotlighting the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, which still supplies water to the Trevi Fountain in the 21st century. Afterwards, he marvelously pointed out and described in detail features of the fountain that, though I had already seen it and just the night before had attended a tour that included the Trevi, had escaped my notice (or been ignored by the guide of the previous tour). Finally and thrillingly, he told me the two locations where I could find the extant and functioning Aqua Virgo aqueduct, giving me an opportunity to have my own archaeological adventure. No digging out dirt required.

Our tour guide (Rosey I think?) was so wonderful. I loved having her for our private tour. She was enthusiastic and genuine. Her tour made me so happy, as I was most excited about seeing the underground portion. I will be recommending this tour to everyone I know. It was so worth the time and money.

The underground guided tour was interesting to see and understand how the popular then opulent Roman dwellings were organized and to become aware of what the underside of the city conceals of vestiges. Important for this to have it explained by a guide (who was very good). Also interesting to understand the purpose of the Trevi Fountain, and the symbolism of its ornaments. But it must be understood that there is no connection other than the geographical proximity between these two visits combined into one.
