Full description
Immerse yourself into a green archeological area a stone’s throw from the Colosseum and explore two of the ancient Romans’ favorite places of leisure. Save time with an express and complete guided tour featuring insider tips. Let your guide bring to life the impressive ruins of the best-preserved baths in Rome. Marvel at their gigantic walls and wander through the monumental rooms of the Caracalla thermal complex. Be an ancient Roman as you go through the exact steps of a typical day at the baths in the 3rd century AD. Discover the bizarre range of services offered in this ancient spa for both the body and mind. Appreciate the architectural greatness of Imperial Rome and be surprised by the abilities of the ancient engineers. Learn about the labor-intensive underfloor heating system, find out the techniques used to maintain the desired temperature in every room, and admire the geometric motifs on the beautiful mosaics all over the place. Then, head toward what is considered to have been the largest structure for public games ever built by mankind. Standing where the Circus Maximus once existed, learn about the glorious Roman “Ludi,” the spectacular multi-venue celebrations held for up to several days. Listen as your guide tells tales of chariot races, gladiator fights, and the clamor of the public while walking on the soil where they used to take place. Finally, travel back in time to a quasi-legendary era before Rome itself and find out the circus’s foundations in the early myths and gods.

Thanks to Luciana, our wonderful guide who, in addition to being very friendly, was able to share with us her rich knowledge of Ancient Rome. We also had the privilege of sharing this moment exclusively with her, without headphones, which allowed us to ask her all the questions that came to mind. All in all a very pleasant moment...

Loved the tour of the Caracalla Baths, unfortunately for Circus Maximus - there isn’t really anything there to see, a lot is left to the imagination. Where you’ll spend most of your time is at the public baths and it is very much worth your time. You’ll be blown away by the remains of the ruins that still stand. The height is jarring, the mosaic flooring left in tact is gorgeous and it really illustrates how beyond their time they were. Great tour - would recommend, but only the Baths portion of this tour!

Excellent visit, the meeting places were easy to find. Our guide was waiting for us at the agreed time. She taught us many things about thermal baths that are often overlooked in Rome. She took the time for the visit and the explanations. It was very pleasant and instructive. It is a visit that is worth it.
