Rome: Caracalla Baths & Circus Maximus — Private or Shared

1.Caracalla Baths & Circus Maximus — Private or Shared

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 835 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $77Our pick

Explore the Baths of Caracalla for one hour, then spend 30 minutes at Circus Maximus with a live archaeologist guide. Expect striking mosaics, underfloor heating, ancient leisure customs, and stories of chariot races. Choose a private or small-group tour in English or five other languages.

“Our guide, Francesca, was knowledgeable, friendly and was able to answer all our questions. We booked a small group tour but ended up as just us which was a bonus. This activity by comparison to others such as the Appian Way, aqueduct and catacombs and the ghost tour, didn't feel like value for money, it seemed quite expensive. This is in no way a reflection on our guide as Francesca who brought the ruins to life and explained what we saw in great detail, she was superb.”

Step into modern Circus Maximus, then use VR to see Imperial Rome, its monuments, crowds, and colossal race track. A guide such as Sara, Rose, Cristina, or Manuela helps run the experience before you compete in a virtual chariot race. English, Italian, and Spanish are available.

“It was the best experience I had in my field trips to Rome. Thanks to this tour I learned all about the birth of the city, its expansion, and how important the Circus Maximus was. The coolest part was being able to race the quadrigas in virtual reality along with all the other participants. A fantastic video game I learned the history and had fun. Sara our guide was outstanding Highly recommended A must”
