Secrets of Rome: a quest tour through the city’s stranger corners
Want Rome to open up from an unexpected, almost mystical side? Ready to leave the tourist trails for the places where legends, secrets and cryptic symbols live?
About the tour
The “Secrets of Rome” quest is a walk at its own particular rhythm — with stories, intrigue and clues that make you look at the city differently.
For teenagers and adults it is an intellectual adventure in which you do not just listen, you act
As a celebration it makes an excellent birthday, hen party, outing with friends or even a date
And for anyone who has “already seen everything” in Rome, it is a chance to be surprised again
How the quest works
You are in the game from the moment we meet.
At every stage there are riddles, unusual tasks and searches for the symbols and signs that lead to the next point.
We walk Rome’s most beautiful streets, courtyards, fountains and staircases, hear stories of great emperors and mysterious disappearances, and talk about secret societies and unusual rites.
The route is built as a smooth passage from one discovery to the next, with moments of quiet, of excitement and of humour.
What you will see
- The Column of Marcus Aurelius — an ancient Roman “comic strip” in stone
- The Trevi Fountain from another angle: the legends that never made it onto postcards
- Piazza di Spagna — and a staircase with a double meaning
- Hidden lanes, old inscriptions, closed courtyards and details the crowds walk straight past
- Riddles along the way and unexpected finds you cannot look up online
