Know Before You Go

It will be requested for pre-payment of the total amount and non-refundable entrance tickets.

This is a tailored tour, no rush and all your curiosities and needs will be fulfilled. This is a journey into the Roman history. The Appian way is called the “Regina viarum” in Latin, which means the queen of the roads or the most important one. It was started in 312 BC during the Republican era and it took one hundred years to be completed. The Appian way was initially built for military purposes but in the following years, it became the best place and most visible spot for richly decorated and expansive tombs and villas with private baths built from Roman wealthy people. Later, Christians created their catacombs by digging some natural hills. Then in the first years of the fourth century AD, the emperor Maxentius built along the road a circus, his palace and the mausoleum of his son Romulus.

The tour requests a dress code due to some sacred places we will be visiting, so shoulders and knees have to be covered.

The transfer from your hotel can be arranged upon request.
