Overview

For the first time, there is now a storytelling tour focused on the personal stories of the early Emperors of Rome.
Take a stroll in downtown Rome and get ready to be blown away by the lives of the ancient Romans, their love stories, and their “peculiarities”!

Hear about the assassination of Julius Caesar exactly where it happened.

This is not only about Caesar, though. Besides him, there are 5 more mind-blowing Romans to talk about. For example, discover Marcus Agrippa and be amazed by his loyalty and friendship with the first Roman Emperor of Rome, Augustus.

Of course, we didn’t forget characters like Emperor Nero and Hadrian. These Emperors, who were very opposite personalities, have their moment of glory on the tour. If you enjoy great historical stories from the past, don’t miss this unique opportunity and delve deep into the past.

What's Included

  • The storytelling tour is a stroll at night amongst Rome's highlights from the ancient roman Empire
  • A break is optional on the tour
