Itinerary

Choose a 10am or 1pm tour, then make your way to the Baths of Caracalla in central Rome to meet your private guide and begin your tour. Constructed during the reigns of Septimius Severus and Caracalla, the baths were once among the largest of their kind in Rome.

Explore the domed octagons, porticoes, and vaulted rooms for which the baths are famous, and listen as your private guide brings daily life in ancient Rome to life. Then, continue on to the site of the Circus Maximus — where violent Roman chariot races once took place.

At the Colosseum, follow your private guide through the corridors and archways, and gain insight into the glory and splendor of Rome. Explore the two main levels for fine views over the Arch of Constantine, and gain insight into the complex construction techniques invented by the Romans. Along the way, learn of the diverse and dangerous entertainments that took place within the Colosseum’s walls.

When your time in the Colosseum comes to an end, step outside the complex to conclude your private tour.

Our guide Simone was amazing! She...

Darine K, Aug 2017

Our guide Simone was amazing! She was so interesting and had so many interesting facts and information. This is the only way to go for the Colosseum - the public lines were so long - and we just zipped right in. Would definitely recommend a tour. It was very very hot and Simone was such a trouper keeping us moving and finding shady spots for us!
