We will follow a Roman patrician strolling through one of the most representative areas of the eternal city, the Foro Boario. In this area, two thousand years ago occupied by the first river port, merchandise warehouses, but also a meat and vegetable market and various Roman monuments are still perfectly preserved today.
This will allow us to better reconstruct daily life as it was along the river. We will admire the Arch of Janus and the Arcus Argentariorum, the temples of Hercules and Portunus, the Bocca della Verità (Mouth of Truth), the Tiber Island and its bridges. We will talk about how Roman architects built bridges, how goods were transported along the river, what coins were used to pay with, and of course what games were played.

The visit is organised by AGTAR-Associazione Guide Turistiche Abilitate Roma (Association of Qualified Tourist Guides Rome), the largest association of guides in Lazio, which proposes a number of specific itineraries for those who want to admire Rome and its surroundings while walking in the open air and at the same time increase their knowledge of the river.
The visits respect the philosophy of the Tiberland DMO: to make known sites of exceptional interest but different from those crowded by mass tourism; to promote open-air itineraries and interaction with the city and the population; to promote responsible and quality tourism, respecting the land and the local economy.
All of this is carried out to the highest quality standards: visits are conducted only by licensed tourist guides, professionals certified by the professional association AGTAR.
The guide adapts explanations and timing to the visitors, to offer an optimal experience, which varies according to age and needs.
