All Roads Lead to Rome

What to Expect

The Evolution of Rome from Antiquity to Modernity
During the tour, I will tell you all the most interesting and important things from the history of Rome, without overloading you with dates and names. You will trace the development of the great empire and the cradle of civilization, learn how the first banks and markets appeared. We will walk through the labyrinth of streets, visit the Insula (ancient housing for the poor), see the Roman college, and talk about the daily life of Romans in different eras: what they ate, where they lived, and what they did.

Unconventional Introduction to Landmarks
We will take the best 'architectural ingredients' from the first pages of Roman guidebooks and create our own image of the Eternal City! We will get acquainted with the architectural objects of Rome in a light and relaxed manner, sometimes stopping for a cup of coffee. You will see the landmarks without which Rome cannot be imagined, the ones featured in movies and books:

• Colosseum, built for bloody spectacles at the dawn of our era
• Arch of Constantine, dedicated to the emperor who united the Roman Empire and legalized Christianity
