Great experience - It was great! Not quite as captivating as some other things in Rome but a lot of history without the crowds!

Baths of Caracalla - Our guide, Francesca, was very knowledgeable and the Roman Caracalla Baths and absolutely amazing. Many tourists are unaware of the Baths which were a vital part of Roman life and were an engineering and architectural masterpiece. The Circus Maximus is dramatic for its size but there is not much left of it to explore.

Circus Maximum is a quick... - Circus Maximum is a quick stop but the Baths of Caracalla were pretty amazing. Our tour guide was extremally knowledgeable. He kept the tour moving while providing us with the history and background of the site. The mosaics are amazing. If your interested in historical sites then I recommend this tour. I also liked that it was in the evening so it was not as hot.

Top of my list ! - This was my favorite tour of our whole trip. Our tour guide Bogden was exceptional. I was slightly unfamiliar with the history of the Circus Maximus, so being able to learn and see that was so interesting. The baths are so beautiful just as they are, but with pictures provided from our guide and his wonderful descriptions we were able to imagine just how incredible it would have been in its original form. It was also not crowded at all, which is almost impossible to find on a tour. It is something I will recommend to everyone that goes.

Trip to the past - We had the pleasure to have a tour guide that is passionate about Roman history and enjoyed to share her knowledge with us. Her explanation and diagrams helped us to imagine the majesty of these two locations in the past.

Did not need a tour guide - It was very interesting to see . My tour guide was there , she was very nice and informative . I felt after visiting Pompeii, it was not necessary to have a guide because I had already viewed a smaller version of the bath house there .

Many Better sites to experience in person - Our trip to Rome was great but this walking tour was so, so. Our guide was nice but not really interesting except for giving the facts. The two sites were ruins and not that impressive. You can google these and get the experience on a big screen in a comfortable environment.
