5.00Shoulders and knees must be covered for Sistine chapel, bring plenty of water! Your guide gives plenty of breaks to cool down and gives a thorough history of each place visited

5.00Great overview of Rome and as described! Lots of walking and hot, but our guide Carolina was fantastic about finding us shade and water when able. She was also incredibly informative and I could tell she was doing a fantastic job of changing routes, making different stops in logical order to avoid the overcrowded areas. Would recommend for anyone trying to see the major tourist attractions in Rome in a day!
Amazing tour to see so many things in a relative short amount of time. Be ready for a lot of walking!

5.00This was a very nice tour. But there was so much to see and observe at all these locations. It's crazy how much we saw and such a relative short amount of time. Be ready for a lot of walking. Also, there are many flights of steps with the ancient steps at the Vatican and especially at the coliseum. Our tour guide Broccoli was a fountain of information and she was able to answer all of our questions.
Lovely tour!
