Treasures of Rome is a Rome‑based tour company offering focused, 3.5‑hour guided experiences across Roma, Lazio. Each itinerary is led by passionate local guides who combine art-historical knowledge with clear storytelling to reveal Rome’s layered past and visual treasures. Tours emphasize close observation of iconic works — from Bernini’s fountains to Michelangelo’s sculptures — and the urban fabric of neighborhoods like Trastevere and the Aventine.
Tours are designed for small groups to ensure personalized attention and conversational interpretation. Several itineraries explicitly note small group sizes and a maximum of up to five participants for an intimate experience. Core themes include fountains and baroque sculpture, papal and religious history, public squares and hidden art, the character of Trastevere, and panoramic viewpoints such as Gianicolo Hill and the Giardino degli Aranci.
The company’s six main offerings present repeatable, consistent experiences: Fountains and Fallen Angels; Between Holy Doors; Piazze di Roma; Beyond the Tiber; Saints, Heretics and the Inquisition; and Views of Rome. Each tour follows a set 3.5‑hour format that combines walks, on‑site interpretation, and curated stops at key monuments and viewpoints.
By operating on foot with local guides and limited group sizes, Treasures of Rome focuses on a high‑quality, interpretive approach rather than mass tourism. The company is based in Rome, Lazio, and specializes in accessible cultural walks suited to visitors seeking close engagement with Rome’s art, architecture, and history.
