5.00The meeting point and process was easy to find and complete- look for the “Crown Tours” office. Get there early as it can be busy. Giulio our guide was an archaeologist working on the forum site which gave us an even greater understanding of the history. Grazie mille Giulio for sharing you passion in such an incredible way through your story telling you took the experience to a whole new level. As you are going through security and checkpoints etc Giulio kept us entertained with what was around us in both forum and colosseum, you never ever felt you were in a queue. I will be back to do it again with Giulio.
