Audio guides in Rome
The city of the Caesars and the Popes
Rome is far too big a city for a single day - or even a single weekend. And it's too big for a single tour, which is why we have several. Pick your favourite period, whether it's medieval, baroque, or classical, and get ready to see the city through new eyes.
Medieval Rome - from the beginnings of Christianity to the start of the Renaissance, medieval Rome reflects the power of the Church. But we also see the fortified homes of the warring families who dominated the city for centuries.
The Imperial Forums - Roman Emperors vied with each other to see who could build the biggest and most splendid forums for the city. With this audio guide, we'll help you imagine the ruins as they would have been in their heyday - and we'll show you how the Imperial buildings were re-used in the Middle Ages to build fortresses and strongholds.
Baroque Rome - the Counter-Reformation Popes funded a huge 
programme of building and art to serve the needs of the Church. We see how Bernini and Borromini transformed the city, visit churches and palaces, and see how Caravaggio's painting changed the nature of art.
The Capitoline - the original citadel of ancient Rome stood on one of the hill's two summits, where the church of Santa Maria Aracoeli stands now; Roman triumphs ended on the other peak in the temple of Jupiter. Michelangelo redesigned the hill in the 1530s to create a focus for the new city of Rome, and it's still the centre of the government of the city. Our audio tour immerses you in Roman history, the story of the great and the good - and you also get the chance to see how ordinary Romans lived in the second century AD.
Santa Maria del Popolo - a treasurehouse of Renaissance and Baroque art, with works by Raphael, Pinturicchio, Bernini and Caravaggio. An almost unique chance in Rome to see the Renaissance at its best, as well as the baroque in all its power.
St Peter's Basilica - visit the greatest of baroque churches and see how Bernini transformed it, working over fifty years to create a unified interior scheme.
