Our tour guide, Julia, was exceptional in every way. We learned so much—she was kind and engaging to our children. We had an incredible time!

If you are interested in Roman archaeology or the life of ancient Rome, you must take the superb small group LIV Tour with Valentina. Valentina made ancient Rome come alive in her description of the lives of the Romans., how the different parts of the Colosseum were used, and the palaces and monuments along the Roman forum. There are so many different details and important things to cover and Valentina, a super fast talking, energetic and bubbly tour guide, did it best. She has been a tour guide for half her life and iher expertise shows. Being a tour guide requires not only having the information but conveying it in an interesting or exciting manner and she did both. Out of the many tours we have had of Rome, this is the best. Top recommendation.
