Travelers visiting Rome now have more opportunities to explore the Eternal City in a
new light with ArcheoRunning’s new AR Experiences through the countryside, vineyards and urban Roman
ruins. With three different full day experiences, travelers can choose to trek from Tuscolo to Frascati, find
peace in the vineyards of Castelli Romani, and journey through the ruins of Ancient Rome from the aqueducts
to the Appian Way.
● The ArcheoTrekking Experience takes history and art lovers to Tusculum, an ancient Roman city in the
Alban Hills most famous for its luxurious patrician country villas. Here travelers will explore
archaeological excavations of a forum, temples, and theater, before continuing on to Villa Falconieri, the
oldest of the Tuscolan Renaissance villas. After being immersed in nature with art and history, the tour

can be accommodated for 150€ per person. Private tours for up to 2 people are 600€.

offering for 1 or 2 people. Cost is 600€.
● The ArcheoUrbanTrekking Experience is a light journey of Ancient Rome starting in the lush Parco degli
Acquedotti. Travelers will learn about the ancient Roman aqueducts, one of the greatest engineering
works during ancient times, before continuing on to the ancient ruins in Caffarella Park. Here there are
several sites of archaeological interest, as well as a working farm, and 78 species of birds and fauna.
The experience ends with a stroll down the Appia Antica to visit the passing monuments and lunch in a
