Rome, Italy

1 to 2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Most days, life follows its usual course. But some days change history forever.
The 15th of March 44 BC — the assassination of Caesar — was one such day, and you can be part of it.

Step into ancient Rome and relive the final days of Julius Caesar. Led by Roberta Jones, time-traveler and licensed tour guide, you'll walk the streets where Caesar seized power and witness the moment that changed the world forever.

This isn't a tour you watch. It's one you live. As you move through iconic sites — Capitoline Hill, the Jewish Ghetto, and more — actors inhabit the world around you: Caesar, Brutus, Volumnia Cytheris, blurring the line between past and present. Along the way, you'll also learn plenty about the sites, join Caesar's army, take your place as a Roman citizen, and face the question that haunted Rome itself: is Caesar a hero or tyrant?
Gripping for adults, thrilling for kids, and unlike anything else you'll do in Rome.
The Ides of March only comes once. Don't miss yours.
