Step by Step

Join this guided tour where an expert will tell you the secrets of ancient Rome.

You will also learn about the famous chariot races of the imperial era by visiting the Circus Maximus in small groups of around 10 people per tour.

This hippodrome hosted games in which the locals bet on their favourite competitors: gladiators in command of two-wheeled vehicles driven at full speed by four horses.

From the top of the Aventine Hill you can enjoy an exceptional view of the city and see its churches. This legendary hill was the site of imposing temples and is part of the legend of Romulus and Remus, which led to the founding of Rome.

You will have the opportunity to peek through the Keyhole, the hole in a door through which the dome of St. Peter's Basilica can be seen. You will also walk through the beautiful Orange Garden that will make you feel centuries back in time.

The adventure will be even more amazing as you pass by the Baths of Caracalla, a historic hot springs complex built in 206 AD where the Romans bathed and recreated.

Its ancient architecture will dazzle you with marble sculptures, open-air pools and three bathing chambers: Caldarium, Tepidarium and Frigidarium, each with a different water temperature.

    A fantastic tour of these historic sites. The fact that we skipped the line and had such a professional guide by our side made the tour so much more interesting, highly recommended.
