Tour details

This private tour embarks on three of the best preserved and also fascinating archeological sites of Rome. It operates only few days a week, when all three attractions are open to public, and it lasts 3 hours.

This private walking tour firstly, starts at the entrance of the Basilica San Clemente, which offers the unique opportunity of experiencing different levels of Rome’s past. Below the church, finished in the Middle Ages, you’ll find another IV Century church containing some of the world’s finest medieval frescos. Going further below, there’s a Mithraic temple dating back to the II Century A.D., part of an older edifice that was built in the I Century A.D.

After visiting San Clemente, take a short walk through the Arch of Dolabella to reach the Caelian Hill, one of the legendary Seven Hills of Rome. Hidden beneath modern structures lies one of the city’s most remarkable archaeological treasures — a vast Roman residential complex with over 20 rooms spread across multiple levels. Here, you’ll see well-preserved frescoes dating from the 3rd century AD to the Middle Ages, beautifully illustrating daily life and art during the Roman Empire. This hidden gem remains one of Rome’s best-kept secrets and an absolute must for lovers of history and archaeology.

Then, it’s time to make our way along the Villa Celimontana and reach the Baths of Caracalla, the second largest bathhouse of Ancient Rome, and by far the best preserved. It dates back to the III Century A.D., and it was realised during the reign of the emperor Caracalla (hence the name). You will be able to walk among the massive ruins of the complex, that featured 4 different pools and number of gyms, locker rooms, and other areas, learn about social life in Ancient Rome, and see some of the artworks and mosaics that decorated the place.
