Standing where once lied the Circus Maximus learn about the glorious Roman “Ludi”, the spectacular multi-venue celebrations held for up to several days. Let your guide drive your imagination through chariot races, gladiator fights, and the clamor of the public while walking on the soil where they used to take place.

Discover the bizarre range of services offered in this ancient-days-spa for the wellness of body and mind.

Learn about the labor-intensive underfloor heating system and find out the techniques used to maintain the desired temperature in every room.

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!

Our guide was very knowledgeable on both the baths and circus maximus. We could understand his english Very informative.
Thank you so much!
It is a great place to visit. The name Caracalla bath is slightly misleading. It is not just a bath but a great community centre in ancient Rome with Bath, library, jym, shopping complex, meeting rooms , garden all in one place. A great place to visit and hang around .
Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour - and the name is its original one :)
V knowledgeable guide. The baths of caracalla are awesome and huge and you really need a guide to understand what you are looking at as well as the history.
Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed our Caracalla baths guided tour!
Ernesto (sp?) was an awesome tour guide! He answered questions and gave great detail of the bathhouses and its history. He pacing was great too, he walked slow enough to not rush the tour and talked slow enough for us to understand. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone.
Thank you so much, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed our Caracalla baths guided tour!
