Highlights
30 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the big city is a little visited place with a magical atmosphere. An experience in many ways superior to the visit of Pompeii which died out under the ashes of Vesuvius in 79 AD. while Ostia continued to prosper until the fourth century. You will walk along the main roads (Cardo and Decumano) still covered by the ancient Roman pavement, to discover places, habits, daily life of the ancient Romans. The guide is a person full of humor who makes the walk enjoyable and interesting. He will tell you details that are not found in the written guides and will take you by the hand to the most evocative corners of the ancient city ... don't forget your comfortable shoes !!!

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
