Great tour!

Melissa_G, Apr 2024

This was a very interesting tour. We didn't know much about the Caracalla Baths, so we learned alot. There are a surprising amount of floor mosaics still intact and the ruins are massive. Frederika was our guide and she was excellent. Very knowledgeable about Caracalla and Circus Maximus. She also offered some great tips on other places to check out.

Excellent tour in an impressive site

alexwhite, Apr 2024

Gabriel was a fantastic and knowledgable guide who made the baths (and Circus Maximus) come to life. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour of a very interesting place

Palmi_C, Apr 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback! We hope to see you again on one of our other tours in Rome :)

Circus and Baths bought to life!

Marie_P, Mar 2024

The tour was fabulous due to our absolutely amazing guide Mauro. He was entertaining as well as informative and through his skill with language bought both the circus maximus and Baths of Caracalla alive. We attended as a family of four adults and we all enjoyed it equally! Grazie Mauro sei fantastico!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts in such detail. We are so glad you enjoyed this experience with Mauro! We hope to see you again on one of our other tours in Rome :)

Baths of Caracalla Tour

Kara_S, Mar 2024

Mario was a great guide. He was a natural storyteller. He was willing to answer all of my many questions and really brought the site alive for us. We really enjoyed the Baths. 🧼

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed this experience, and we agree, it's always great having Mario on board! We hope to see you again on one of our other tours in Rome :)

Great day

Lisa_z, Jan 2024

My son and I walked over after our tour of the Colosseum. It was a great way to add on to our day! We didn’t really know about the Caracalla baths - it was fascinating! The guide was wonderful!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed this experience with us and hope to see you again on one of our other tours in Rome :)

Great experience

Lance_K, Oct 2023

This was a last minute tour for us and we’re so glad we did it! It’s not nearly as crowded as the Vatican or Colosseum but the views and ruins are something incredible. Truly felt like a hidden gem.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are glad you enjoyed this experience with us :)

Hidden gem

Tamara_C, Sep 2023

Not much to see at Circus Maximus although our guide gave excellent commentary about what took place there. A short walk brought us to the Baths ruins which were amazing! Never even knew they were there. We received a good explanation of their importance in society at the time and how they brought the classes together. It was very relaxing to be somewhere so beautiful that wasn’t crowded at all. Highly recommend.

Excellent

Gennaro_R, Aug 2023

The guide explained us everything about this place. She was very kind and nice. There were two more people but they didn’t go, and the guide Anna followed us in Circus Máximo and Caracalas Bath.

Showers in the baths!!

Leslie_B, Aug 2023

Having seen the baths in England this was a disappointment. The history about Circus Maximus was interesting. There were only 6 people in the tour so I'm not sure how invested Francesca was. The intermittent downpours of rain made it the most memorable.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Dear Leslie, Thank you for reviewing this experience. We would appreciate if you could find the time to write to us at info@touriks.com to let us know what we can improve about this tour and to let us know more about your experience with Francesca. Looking forward to receive your feedback, Ermal

Informative Guide

Douglas_V, Jul 2023

The guide was very well informed and was quite engaging. It was unfortunate that at Circus Maximus there was so much traffic. She was hard to hear.

Fantastic and Enlightening

Robert_T, Jul 2023

Alessia was our guide and provided an informative and relaxing experience which we highly recommend.

Must see!

Amy_O, Jun 2023

The park was amazing! Not crowded and you could walk around in a city that was from 600BC. The pottery on display in the museum also rivaled what we say elsewhere and all the Greek pots were found at the sight! The tour guide did an excellent job explaining the city and how it moved from a Greek city to a Roman city. The drive to the park along the coast was very beautiful and we were able to stop along the way at a few towns to shop/snack/ tour as we went.

Rarely Visited Gem

Kyle_S, Jun 2023

This is probably one of the most overlooked sites in all of Rome. This was one of the few ruins that has enough left to really give you the scale of what this building must have looked like. And having someone there to point stuff out and explain was super helpful. So much more info available than just what is on the plaques.

Amazing site, even better tour guide

Andrew_L, Jun 2023

We had Sonia as our tour guide and she was phenomenal. As an archaeologist, she had an abundance of knowledge, and her enthusiasm really showed. We absolutely loved how she was able to paint the picture of how the old structure used to look, and where certain ruin pieces would have been. Her own personal knowledge from working in the field meant that she could speak of the newest findings or what the significance of the different stones in the mosaic are, or the colors. Absolutely recommend!!

Great tour with Samuele

Simon_R, Jun 2023

Samuele was our guide and did an excellent job telling us the histories of the Ancient Roman sports arena and chariot races as well as that of the Caracalla baths. It was a super informative 90 minute tour. Highly recommend.

Excellent experience.

Belinda_S, May 2023

Francesca our tour guide was excellent. She explained the history of the place but also helped us understand how life in Ancient Rome compared to our lives today!

Basically all about the baths

Paul_C, May 2023

Practically nothing to see or said about Circus Maximus. Baths explanation was good! I would just visit baths on your own and save money.

Baths closed!!

Lindy_L, May 2023

It was not our wonderful guide’s fault that the baths were closed without warning!! Instead of sending us on our way as the company advised him to, he spent an hour explaining the complex with a series of schematic drawings outside.
