Started rough but ended great. The address/meeting point they gave on the ticket was different from the booking and both were wrong. Thank that I was at the first wrong address 45 minutes before the tour. I asked 10 people and they all had a different answer until I decided to go to the Rome tourist desk and sent me to the tour office and even that it was closed.. I asked another tour guide and he directed me to the right place but what a mess!! They need to figure this one out as all said the same “ that all are confused and don’t know we’re to go” Now the tour is a must. Incredibly knowledgeable guide. You go and skip lines and go places where there is no general ticket owners go. Absolutely fantastic and I would 100% recommend. I’m sure they will figure out the address issue. Book it, it’s worth it!
