PRIVATE CHRISTIAN ROME TOUR

Walking tour of historical Rome
Traditional Roman lunch
Walking tour of ancient Rome

 Hidden Churches of Rome (formerly "Sacrament and Sanctuary") was created in 2010, our secret pathway through the bustle of Rome to another time and place.

 Interestingly, the churches we visit can be found in close proximity to tourist hotspots such as the Roman Forum and Colosseum, but only very few tourists seek them out.

 Lack of awareness? Probably, but let's not discount personal choice either. Tourists are often held back by not having enough time to see more than the most famous highlights.

 In 2010, Rome tour operators were not interested in developing experiences that did not include the main moneymaking attractions (Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican Museums). Then, as now, we work differently. Offering tours that truly inspire has always been the Eternal Tours Rome way.

 Hidden Churches of Rome is one example of how important it is for us to show our clients the best of Rome ("best of Rome" is not, nor has ever been shunting people between the Colosseum and Vatican via the Pantheon).

 You will visit seven churches nestled in the heart of historical Rome. Some still stand upon original bronze age foundations, others have helped us understand a great deal about mediaeval Rome.

 You will enter three of Rome's oldest parks, namely Parco del Colle Oppio (Oppian Hill in antiquity, site of Emperor Nero's Domus Aurea and the ruins of Trajan's Baths), Parco del Celio (Caelian Hill), and Villa Celimontana.

 The churches you will enter are hidden in the sense that they are never frequented by large tourist groups - St. Peter in Chains apart (San Pietro in Vincoli houses "Moses" by Michelangelo). Roman lunch with wine is included.
