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

What to expect

  1. Area Sacra di Largo Argentina
    30m
    On this walking tour you will see Largo Argentina sqaure, the site of the Assassination of Julius Caesar, then we continue on, walking by incredibly beautiful sites such as the Pantheon, Piazza di Pietra and the Mausoleum of Emperor Augustus, finishing in the end with Piazza del Popolo, which was two millennia ago the burial site of Emperor Nero
  2. Pantheon
    20m
    We walk by the Pantheon at night, where your tour guide will recount you the story of Marcus Agrippa, a man who in the 1st century BC managed to become the second most powerful man in the world
  3. Piazza Di Pietra
    20m
    While in awe at these fascinating 2nd century AD ruins, the tour guide will tell you the story of Emperor Hadrian, one of the best Emperors in Rome's history
  4. Piazza Colonna
    20m
    Here in this square, still endures the monumental 2nd century AD spiral column dedicated to Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The column shows a hand-carved spiral relief which from the bottom to the top, shows the most significant moments of his life
  5. Piazza Augusto Imperatore
    25m
    In this square you will admire the 1st century AD burial site of Emperor Augustus, his Mausoleum. Over here the tour guide will tell you of his family, focusing mainly on the life of his only child Julia.

    This woman had a very strong personality and she was a very independent type of woman for those days. This story is probably the climax of the tour, being unique and heart-breaking.
  6. Piazza del Popolo
    20m
    Piazza del Popolo represents the conclusion of the nighttime walking tour. In this square the tour guide will tell you of the incredible story of Emperor Nero, delving deep into his psychological profile, explaining his relationship with his mother Agrippina and how eventually Nero wanted to become an artist so bad, which lead him to be at the center of world attention.
