Our official guide will give you a brief presentation of the place and we will enter the ancient city where emperors like Hadrian and Trajan were born to discover all the secrets of the place. We will walk along the ancient Roman streets, mosaics, thermal baths and houses, such as Neptune's or "the House of the Birds." These will be some of the preserved wonders that we will have the opportunity to discover in a tour full of very surprising images.
