Itinerary

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.

During your tour, explore the park area by the Colosseum and listen as your guide sheds light on life during the Roman Empire. Admire the domed octagons, porticoes, and vaulted rooms for which the baths are famous, and learn of the uses to which the spaces were put thousands of years ago.

See parts of the baths’ heating system along with sections of decorative floor mosaics, and hear stories behind this impressive archaeological monument. When your time at the Baths of Caracalla comes to an end, step outside the complex to conclude your private tour.

We booked this tour...

Monica_M, May 2025

We booked this tour because we had seen it in a movie. This place was so beautiful during the day. Our guide had said not a lot of people book the tour because they rather go to the colosseum. I loved it, was very personal and a big area.

Response from Host, May 2025

That's fantastic to hear! It's wonderful that you discovered this beautiful place through a movie. We completely agree – it's often overlooked in favor of the Colosseum, but it has a unique charm and offers a more personal experience due to fewer crowds. We're so glad you enjoyed it and found it to be a big and beautiful area to explore!

Interesting

Sharon_C, Oct 2019

The location was facinating. The large location made you wonder how it could possible be constructed. Our guide pulled all together for us.

A walk back in time

Nicholas_B, Aug 2019

We saw a news report in the USA on the Baths of Caracalla and decided to see it, Our guide Michele Mattei met us at the front of the site and walked us through. Michele’s background as an archeologist was perfect. We had a very informative and fun tour. The amazing work in recovering the site coupled with Michele’s great description made this an unforgettable tour.

Well worth the money! Our tour guide...

JOSEPH_V, Jan 2018

Well worth the money! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and he even gave each of us an architectural map that helped to envision the baths as they once were during the glory days of the Roman empire. Without this tour, we wouldn't have understood the purpose of the various rooms within the baths, and we would have viewed the entire structure as simply more ruins. Highly recommend this tour!!
