Itinerary
1. Leave Rome's city center in style, passing through the grand San Sebastiano gate in the 3rd century Aurelian Walls.
2. Start discovering the Ancient Appian Way, as it gradually transforms from a nearly anonymous Roman street into a uniquely preserved ancient thoroughfare, today set in the bucolic paradise that is the Appian Way Park.
3. In the 4-hour tour, a short pause to contemplate the massive burial underground, resting place to half a million souls. Please note: on Wednesdays, this stop is not included in the 4-hour tour. In the 6-hour tour, a 45-minute guided visit of these 2nd-century catacombs, in all their complexity and mystery! Note: On Wednesdays, the 6-hour tour will visit the Catacombs of San Sebastiano (instead of those of San Callixtus).
4. Admire the vestiges of an Imperial complex built in the 4th century A.D., consisting of a Villa, a Mausoleum and a Circus (a chariot racetrack venue).
5. One of the largest and best-preserved buildings on the Appian Way - this 1st century (A.D.) funerary monument was consecrated to the memory of a young girl from a patrician family.
6. A sprawling 2nd century private Villa complex that used to belong to two of the richest brothers in Roman Imperial history. THIS STOP IS ONLY INCLUDED IN THE 6-HOUR TOUR.
7. See the colossal aqueducts and hear all about the massive system of underground and arch-borne water supply built for the city of Rome in antiquity.
8. A wonderful 'pocket' of verdant valleys and hills in the suburbs of the Eternal city, the home of large sheep herds that graze on its pastures.
9. See the incredible Thermal baths of Caracalla from the best vantage point, and hear about the central importance that baths had for the social life of ancient Romans. THIS STOP IS ONLY INCLUDED IN THE 6-HOUR TOUR.
