Rome archaeological tour: where art meets history
Guided tour to discover the charm, history and artistic beauty of the Eternal City
Rome's history, beauty and archaeological attractions draw thousands of tourists and visitors every day. To really appreciate the Eternal City, you have to visit the places that encapsulate its artistic heritage. Alongside an experienced guide, set off on a walk to the Baths of Caracalla, built between 212 and 216 AD at the behest of Emperor Caracalla, then continue to the Circus Maximus, where chariot races were held in front of more than 150,000 spectators. Stop under the portico of the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, home to the "Mouth of Truth", a marble face that is rumoured to bite the hands of liars. Visit the Forum Boarium, an ancient cattle market, and cross the Ponte Palatino bridge, which connects the Forum to the Trastevere district. Finish the tour with a typical "Grattachecca", a dessert made from finely crushed ice, fruit and sweet syrup. A comprehensive experience to see the very best of Rome.
