Embark on an extraordinary private tour that immerses you in the enchanting history of Rome, making you feel as if you’ve traveled back in time. Your exclusive adventure begins with breathtaking views of Palatine Hill, where Romulus and Remus founded the city, and the magnificent Circus Maximus, the largest stadium of the Empire, built for exhilarating chariot races.
As you stand before the Circus Maximus, which could hold up to 300,000 spectators, you’ll be reminded of its legacy, famously captured in the film “Ben-Hur.” After a brief drive past the impressive Caracalla Baths, the second-largest thermal baths in Rome, you will enter the iconic Appian Way at Porta Capena, experiencing the grandeur of the “Queen of the Roads” like a true Roman.
Your private tour continues driving by the elegant San Sebastian Gate and Druso’s Arch, remnants of an ancient aqueduct. Then, venture into the St. Callixtus Catacombs, where your catacomb guide will lead you through the extensive tunnels, providing a personal connection to the origins of Christianity on this sacred burial ground.
Following this immersive experience, the magnificent Cecilia Metella Mausoleum is just five minutes away, a testament to the affluent Metella family. Here, you can appreciate the typical Mediterranean landscape due to so many Mediterranean pine trees and walk along the ancient Roman basalt stone pavement in tranquility.
Finally, enjoy a visit to the Park of the Aqueducts, where you will marvel at the remarkably preserved Appius Claudius aqueduct, constructed in 312 BC. As we conclude your exclusive journey along the Appian Way, you’ll have a moment to stroll beneath the shade of ancient pine trees and snap memorable photographs at a monumental archway that has stood for centuries, allowing you to truly savor this unique experience.
