About
No need to go to Rome to discover the customs, culture and habits of the ancient Romans. Accompany me on a leisurely stroll through Aquileia to explore the most beautiful corners of this former royal seat of the Roman emperors - and a Unesco world heritage site.
River harbor, forum, residential buildings, necropolis and the grave road.
We visit the Duomo of Aquileia, its priceless and very well preserved floor mosaics. I will tell you about the development from an imperial residence to a patriarchal seat. After the lunch break, I would be happy to show you around the National Archaeological Museum of Aquileia if you wish.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:

- marksF4540YU0 contributionsAn Unexpected TreasureLubos was a life saver agreeing to book a private tour at the last minute. He was a delightful and charming companion who customized our tour on the spot based on our interests and preferences. He took excellent care of us and made what might have been a forfeited day into a magical one. He went above and beyond in every way to make our day in Trieste memorable. We will definitely call on him again should we find ourselves returning to the city.Written October 18, 2024
- RostG0 contributionsBeautiful place to visitThe weather was pretty bad, raining at times, nonetheless we found the castle and the gardens were just amazingly beautiful. The story behind this was very interesting as wellWritten September 14, 2024
- kirsty1bourne0 contributionsBest ever guided tour!I wish there were 10 stars to leave because this was one of the best guided tours we have ever had. Lubos was charming and funny and informative.

- adamdZ4615OU0 contributionsIf in doubt, do this tour.Really excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and took the trouble to find out what we were interested in. We covered a lot of historical, literary, culinary and liturgical ground, received the right amount of information and stopped whenever required. In fact Lubos went far beyond the call of duty. Unconditionally recommended.Written August 8, 2024
- GoPlaces6223530 contributionsFirst In Class TourLubos exceeded our expectations. He was such a personable and well-prepared guide and even gave us a packet of info to take with us at the end. He shared not only the interesting historical sites but current local activities including a storefront where they displayed the traditional sandwich bread and meat. He even bought us a Trieste coffee at a traditional place. We booked in advance, which I would recommend. He planned with us where to meet that was most convenient for us, which helped us get off to a great start.Written July 8, 2024

- fcslady0 contributionsA Tour Way Above the Bar of Excellent!Lubo was beyond fantastic with this tour. He offered many helpful tips before we had the tour through his great correspondence. We had a snag in our flight so we couldn’t take the tour with the rest of our group. He gave them an excellent tour and handed them a gift to give to me since I had booked the tour and was missing it! His thoughtfulness and going way beyond what would be expected is exceptional. Book this tour! You will not be disappointed!!Written November 11, 2023

- Dalia G0 contributionsGreat, historical and architectural tour!Lubos is an exceptional tour guide! he was extremely knowledgeable about the complex history of Trieste. He is passionate about explaining the architecture, the conflicting cultural elements, as well as the various food influences in Trieste. highly recommend !Written October 16, 2023
- M1084MRellieg0 contributionsThe crown jewel of the city of TriesteYou can not go to Trieste and not visit this beautiful castle! It should be a requirement of any visit. I was born in Trieste and ensure I do at least one visit of the castle and it’s garden each time I go back. In recent years a new director of the park has revitalised the place and helped to return it to it’s former glory. Definitely visit and go inside of you have never done so. It’s magical and the story of its creation and history is both tragic and beautifulWritten September 13, 2023
- D4906MDaliciae0 contributionsHighly Recommend!This tour guide was FANTASTIC! He was very cool and very informative. The tour was the perfect amount of time and engaging throughout. I would highly recommend this tour! We only had a short amount of time in Trieste so this was a great way to cover a lot of things in one day!Written September 5, 2023

Senza dubbio l'ammirare i mosaici pavimentali di Aquileia, porta tanto stupore
Oltre al complesso basilicale con mosaici e affreschi di rara bellezza, vale la pena di visitare anche il Museo Nazionale Paleocristiano e il Museo Archeologico Nazionale.
Aquileia fu una importante città dell’Impero romano e poi principale centro per la diffusione del Cristianesimo nell’Europa del nord e dell’est
È sito UNESCO dal 1998 per l’importanza della sua area archeologica e la bellezza di quanto da essa custodito.

Il gioiello di Aquileia è certamente il Museo Archeologivo Nazionale. Sono belli anche i mosaici della Basilica (IV-X secolo), ma il biglietto è troppo caro e senza sconti per anziani invalidi insegnanti ecc.
Magico il Battistero (ma con un altro bihlietto). L'area è ben tenuta e regge bene anche le folle dei vacanzieri d'agosto.

Basilica with three naves, the mosaic between the two side naves is magnificent, the mosaic floor is the largest of all the mosaics of the Christian West. The archaeological area is also worth a visit.

La Basilica patriarcale, il Museo Archeologico, il Battesimo e il sito archeologico meritano un viaggio, ovviamente dopo aver studiato un pò a casa prima di partire.
Il pavimento della Basilica è il più esteso mosaico paleocristiano del mondo occidentale (760 mq.)
Le Assistenti del sito archeologico sono professionali, gentili e disponibili.
I prezzi dei biglietti corretti,
(p.s. nel sito c'è un negozio di ottica che mi ha risolto un problema gratuitamente e con un sorriso)

La storia d’Italia passa da Aquileia!
Un sito archeologico all’aperto con tutto un percorso che comprende la Basilica con mosaici meravigliosi...pista ciclopedonale da percorrere per ammirare ogni dettaglio del territorio...che dire un gioiellino tutto Italiano da NON lasciarsi sfuggire!
P.S. la visitai già negli anni 70 ma oggi è valorizzata in tutto il suo splendore.... complimenti a chi amministra questo posto magnifico...

Eine super interessante Erfahrung für alle die tiefer in die Geschichte eintauchen wollen. Lubos vereint Leidenschaft und Kompetenz und kann somit sowohl Geschichtsaffine als auch Neuinteressierte begeistern.
Jetzt muss ich auch noch den Vorteil einer privaten Führung erwähnen. Nur im Familienkreis fast drei Stunden durch Aquileia, auf den wichtigsten Spuren, die die Römer hinterlassen haben - und dabei erklärt uns ein Experte die Mosaike aus dem 4. Jahrhundert. Einfach toll.
Vielen Dank für das schöne Erlebnis
Alles Liebe
