We booked this tour...

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.

Operator response

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

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

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...

<p>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!!</p>
