5.00Accidentally signed up for the Spanish tour, instead of English, and still really enjoyed this tour. I could tell our tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, even with a language barrier. Would definitely book again, maybe in English next time

5.00If you are lucky enough to get Lumi as your guide, you will really enjoy this tour. Lumi is very knowledgeable and wants the best for her group. Be prepared for lots of walking and taking on some slightly strenuous walking, especially when visiting Palatine Hill.
