DESCRIPTION

Most days, life goes on as usual. The sun rises, the sun sets, and not much changes. But every so often, there’s a day that changes the course of history forever. The Ides of March (15th of march 44BC) was one of those moments—a day so important, it’s been remembered for over 2,000 years.
On this tour, you'll time-travel to ancient Rome and relive the gripping final days of Julius Caesar in an immersive theatrical experience that blends history with drama. Led by your guide, Roberta Jones, a time traveler explorer with a knack for unraveling the secrets of the past, this tour takes you on an unforgettable journey through the streets and landmarks of Julius Caesar's Rome. Walk the streets where he rose to power, hear how his ambition shaped an empire, and learn what led to the fateful day that changed everything and started the Roman empire. 
 The story comes to life with actors portraying pivotal figures such as Julius Caesar, Brutus and Volumnia Cytheris, an ancient Roman Mime and interactive moments where you, the audience, will join Caesar’s army, become an ancient Roman citizen, and decide for yourself if Ceasar was a hero or a threat to the Roman Republic.
Both kids and adults witll have a great time on this tour.
