Tour Description
Combine Roman culture and cuisine by embarking on the True Roman experience. Over the course of six hours, your private group will discover the highlights of ancient Rome before immersing yourself in Italian food on a private cooking class.
With special skip-the-line access to the Colosseum and Roman Forum, an expert private guide able to bring ancient Rome to life, and a hands-on cooking class where you’ll master any Italian recipe you’ve ever dreamed of, the True Roman experience is a must for first-time visitors to the Eternal City.
Discover the wonders of Ancient Rome
Meeting you in your hotel lobby, we’ll drive you through the city’s storied streets to the entrance of Rome’s most iconic monument: the Colosseum. Here you’ll enjoy privileged priority access to the ancient amphitheater, stepping inside and soaking up its unique ambience.
Your private guide, an expert in Roman history, will share all the secrets of this world-famous structure. From the stories of the gladiators who fought there, from the spectacles that played out on its sands to the social conventions of Roman culture, your guide will bring the monument to life.
After exploring its many layers, you’ll tread the ancient steps of the Via Sacra (Sacred Way) and enter the Roman Forum. This was the crucible of the Roman world, the epicenter the Empire – the site of law courts, temples and forums in which the privileged and the plebs mixed and mingled.
As you discover its basilicas and temples, your expert guide will weave Roman myths and legends, recounting the story of the founding of Rome by the fratricidal brothers, Romulus and Remus. Rome’s story started on the Palatine Hill (from which we derive our word palace) and from the remarkable Roman Forum you’ll enjoy a stunning view of this incredible landmark.
Combine culture and cuisine on your true Roman experience
Exploring the epicenter of the Roman world is sure to make you work up an appetite. That’s why the true Roman experience follows your ancient itinerary with an exclusive, private cooking class. We’ll drive your private group from the Roman Forum to one of our two stunning cooking schools: one a 17th-century palazzo around the corner from Piazza Navona; the other a sleek and stylish terraced school a stone’s throw from the Pantheon.
Your private chef will greet you with a prosecco and snacks reception before you get hands-on in the kitchen recreating a range of Roman classics. Whether you dream of mastering the art of Roman pasta (amatriciana, carbonara or cacio e pepe) or crafting the perfect Italian pizza, we will customize the class so you can learn exactly what you like.
Compliment your delicious main course with a sumptuously sweet dessert, such as creamy, dreamy gelato or mouthwatering tiramisù. As the grand finale to your true Roman experience, you’ll dine on what you’ve created, in our stunning dining room and accompanied with a selection of soft drinks, wines and beers.
