You will walk along the main roads (Cardo and Decumano) still covered by the ancient Roman pavement, to discover places, habits, daily life of the ancient Romans. The guide is a person full of humor who makes the walk enjoyable and interesting. He will tell you details that are not found in the written guides and will take you by the hand to the most evocative corners of the ancient city ... don't forget your comfortable shoes !!!
