Informative, inciteful and awe inspiring. Learning about the spectacular ingenuity of the Roman populas was really quite incredible. Excellent views and a fantastic tour guide who delved into the sites rich history, as well as the myths and legends associated with it. Would highly recommend, as it can be difficult to properly absorb information when trying to read by yourself in crowded places. Having an audible tour guide allows you to retain the information better, whilst giving you the opportunity to take-in your surroundings.
