What you can expect

Step into the heart of Trastevere and discover Rome through the voices of the women who have lived in it, loved it, and transformed it. This tour takes you through alleys, squares, and hidden corners to discover a side of the area that is rarely told: its feminine, working-class, and resilient side, shaped by everyday actions, hard work, creativity, and community.

Between each stop, stories emerge of midwives, artisans, seamstresses, herbalists, cigar rollers, innkeepers, courtesans, and mothers who, through their work and their daily presence, brought the district to life. These were ordinary yet extraordinary women, capable of leaving a silent but profound mark on the life of the area. The stories are interwoven with the trades of yesteryear, colourful nicknames, the washerwomen's ditties, local festivals, and the vitality that has made Trastevere a truly unique place.

The tour is enhanced by carefully selected tastings at authentic, family-run establishments. Each taste becomes part of the storey: the pizza from the alleyways, the cheeses from the historic shops, the supplì (rice balls) prepared according to tradition, and a dessert that smells like home. Simple, profound flavours that tell the storey of life in the area more eloquently than a thousand words. Each bite is a piece of memory, a bridge between the past and the present, a way to get in touch with the most authentic Rome.

During the walk, you will pass through iconic locations such as Piazza Trilussa, Ponte Sisto, Piazza San Cosimato, Piazza Mastai, and Santa Maria in Trastevere, as well as lesser-known alleys that lie off the beaten tourist track and still retain the neighborhood’s working-class spirit. Here, stories emerge of women who sewed, kneaded, sang, worked, cared, and endured. These women, each unique, were united by the same everyday resilience that brought rhythm and colour to life in the area, long before Trastevere became the vibrant, popular place we know today.

This is not a traditional tour: it is a slow, sensory immersion in Rome’s feminine identity. This experience combines storytelling, local memory, and conviviality, designed for those who want to get to know Trastevere not only through what they see, but also through what they feel. An invitation to walk, listen, taste, and be moved by stories that resonate with every woman, regardless of her age, her journey, or her world.
A unique way to experience Rome: simple, authentic, and human.
