The Hippodrome was a large stadium in ancient Greece and Rome primarily used for chariot racing and other public events. It was typically an elongated oval shape with seating for spectators along the length of the track. Chariot races were a popular form of entertainment in ancient times, drawing huge crowds and often serving as a venue for political and social gatherings as well.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
