Little Rome was the first Roman city built outside Italy in 206 BC by the general Publius Cornelius Scipio Scipio, the African. A city that saw the birth of two Roman emperors, Trajan and Hadrian, where luxury and the "simulacra romae" were enjoyed. We will walk through its ancient streets with our guide who will help us to interpret and get to know the whole enclave. We will also discover amazing mosaics, the Traianeum, the ancient major baths and its famous amphitheatre. It is the third largest in the world, where the famous gladiator fights took place and has been the setting for the popular series Game of Thrones. Its Roman theatre, discovered in the mid-20th century, is undoubtedly one of the best preserved in Europe, where plays are still being performed.
After visiting this enclave we will go to the monastery of San Isidoro del Campo, a medieval fortress. We will finish in a traditional winery, where we will enjoy a wine tasting.

The history was the most memorable part for me. Our guide, Miguel, was knowledgeable and personable - you could see he really enjoyed his work! There is so much more that hasn’t been excavated yet, so hopefully it Itálica will receive more funds in the future so that they can continue their amazing work!

This tour was actually through Naturanda not Pancho Tours as listed. There were several tours going on and it was hard to hear especially in the cathedral which is small and there was a lot of echoing. Headsets would have been super helpful. In the description, it advises in the end that it will end with a traditional wine at a winery. At the end, they just give you a card for a free drink with a list of local restaurants.

Our guide Yohanna was warm and humerus. She kept the group on track without being pushy! The tempo was good and she provided ample historical information. The sight is amazing, much larger than expected! A must do outing (1/2 day) while in Seville

It was a good tour with a great guide. I would however like a credit on our Gibralter tour which we missed due to misinformation. We would like to take Viator tour from Madrid.

Let's get this out in the open first: I do not like tours. I like to explore on my own and take my time but the only day i could go was on a Sunday and it was a little more difficult to get there so I decided to try a tour. It was everything I expected it to be. A lot of hanging around while the other languages were spoken and a slow walk around the complex being spoken at. This is not the fault of the tour company or the excellent guide, but a personal preference.
At the end of the Italica tour, we had just 10 minutes to take pictures on a our own; it was no where near enough time.
After that, we went to the monastery of San Isidoro del Campo (which I didn't realise was in the itinerary) and in all honesty, I would have preferred the extra time at Italica as this really wasn't much to write home about.
Excellent company, professional and likable staff, new and comfortable coach. Everything you could want from a tour... if you liked tours, lol.

Our guide Luca was great. Italica is definitely a must see. English explanation is great especially to learn about the culture and history.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and he was able to provide a tour to both Spanish speakers and English speakers by transitioning back and forth between Spanish and English.
