Marvel at their gigantic walls and wander through the monumental rooms of the Caracalla thermal complex. Be an Ancient Roman for an hour 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-days-spa for the wellness of body and mind. Appreciate the architectural greatness of Imperial Rome and be surprised by the abilities of the ancient engineers.

More than Meets the Eye

Our guide, Frederica was very knowledgeable about Circus Maximus and the Caracalla baths. We learned a lot more than if we had just walked around the sites by ourselves. She also made recommendations about where to go next in Rome which we did as we walked back to our accommodations.

Excellent and informative tour with the friendly guide Fabio.

The tour of the Caracalla Baths and the Circus Maximus was simply outstanding! Our guide Fabio conducted the tour with incredible knowledge, enthusiasm, and charm. His explanations were not only interesting but also extremely informative and vividly told. Additionally, Fabio was very friendly, attentive, and always open to questions throughout the tour. You can immediately tell that he is a true expert who conveys history with passion. What was particularly impressive was how vividly he brought ancient Rome to life—from the monumental Caracalla Baths to the exciting history of the Circus Maximus. The tour was perfectly organized and varied at all times. Anyone looking to experience an informative, interesting, and excellently guided tour in Rome is in the right place with Fabio. Absolutely recommended!
