Rome Exclusive Caracalla Bath Private Guided Tour – VIP Entry
Private Tour of the Baths of Caracalla – Discover the Grandeur of Imperial Rome
Enjoy a fascinating 1.5-hour private walking tour through one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Rome: the Baths of Caracalla. Led by a licensed, professional guide, this immersive experience offers a deep dive into the daily life, architecture, and innovations of Ancient Rome, without the crowds.
Built in 216 AD under Emperor Caracalla, these were the second-largest public baths in the Roman Empire and a symbol of its grandeur and sophistication. During your visit, you’ll walk among massive ruins, admire well-preserved floor mosaics, and explore open-air chambers that once hosted thousands of Roman citizens.
Your guide will share engaging stories about the baths’ function as a social, cultural, and recreational hub, where Romans came not just to bathe, but to read, train, and relax. You’ll also visit the nearby ruins of the Aurelian Wall, learning how this ancient defense system helped protect the city from barbarian invasions.
This private tour is ideal for couples, families with children, and small groups looking for a unique and educational experience off the usual tourist trail. The itinerary can also be adapted for visitors with disabilities upon request.
Whether you’re passionate about Roman history, archaeology, or just curious to explore something beyond the Colosseum, this tour is a perfect addition to your stay in Rome.

A hot visit to the Colosseum!
Had to collect tickets from a shop near to the Colosseum – lady there was most helpful in explaining where we needed to go and to download apps to our phones for the self audio guide (also gave us some free water with the heat!). Found the entrance easy and then enjoyed the tour – only issue was that the GPS signal wasnt great inside so it was difficult to sync the audio guide to what we were looking at. Took a break before doing the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum – we went on a very hot day and it was hard work walking around – make sure you have plenty of water!! Surfaces were very uneven – which is understandble considering its an ancient monument.

Amazing place to visit, weak audio guide
Such an amazing place to visit, it’s easy to understand why this is a must see! The sites were fantastic, but the audio tour was too generic. There were some interesting clips, but not enough about what we were looking at when we were at different points and too much generic history. In retrospect we would have got a lot more from a guide, but it was very nice to go at our own pace.

Unforgettable experience!
This tour was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, everything was organized, engaging, and informative. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of the Colosseum to life with fascinating stories, little-known facts, and a real passion for Ancient Rome.
The skip-the-line access was a huge plus—no waiting around in the hot sun! We also got upgraded for an Arena tour and got to explore areas that aren’t always open to the public, which made the experience feel exclusive and even more special.

Very good customer service from Dolly
I was due to travel in August on this holiday however due to operational reasons, the tour may not have run and I was made aware straight away. I dealt with a women called Dolly and she offered me alternative options and we decided to refund the tour which was done promptly. Dolly gave me some brilliant advice and some useful insight to Rome.She was fab!
