Private Tour of Trajan’s Markets in Rome

Rosaria was a fantastic tour guide. Trajan's Market is visible from so many vantage points when you are touring the Roman ruins but it is rare to see it from this perspective. If you want to experience some unique views of what Rome looked like 2000 years ago this is the place to go.

Great tour to avoid the crowds of Rome

I took my teenage son, and he loved it! The guide compared Trajan’s Market to modern malls, and the views from the upper level were amazing.

Our guide Fiona expertly explained the architecture and how it functioned as an ancient shopping center. The views from the upper levels were stunning, and it was such a peaceful contrast to the busier sites in Rome. Highly recommend for anyone interested in ancient Roman history!
