Private Tour of the Baths of Caracalla and Houses of the Caelian Hill

A special tour to understand how was the daily life in the Ancient Rome, when the Emperors ruled the world.
I’ve chosen my two favourite archaeological sites of Rome, the Baths of Caracalla and the Roman Houses, very interesting but never crowded.

The first site is an amazing example of the talent of the Ancient Romans for engineering and architecture, but even a charming park with stone pines and benches.
After, we’ll walk to visit an “insula” (Ancient apartament building) discovered underneath the Basilica of SS. John and Paul on the Caelian Hill. Here not only we’ll talk about the hard life of the working class, but you’ll discover rare frescoes of the IIIrd century AD.

Admiring mosaics and frescoed rooms, we’ll talk about the daily routine of the Romans, between steam baths, beauty treatments, traffic and high costs of a rental.
