Davide was a great guide with so much knowledge and humor, as well. He was able to take us to some other places not originally scheduled which was nice. Yes…it is a lot of walking, but it is broken up and there is time to rest. It was a hot day in Rome and he was always checking to see if we were drinking or needed to stop for more water.

Absolutely phenomenal tour! Sev was an outstanding guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the rich history of Rome. His storytelling brought the ancient sites to life, and despite the many steps and sights we covered, he kept a great pace that was both comfortable and efficient. It truly felt like walking through history with a trusted expert. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an unforgettable and insightful experience in Rome. Sev made the day exceptional!

Lots of walking and too fast at times to take pictures. Very crowded areas and the tour guide gave too much of his “opinions.” It was too long and I would recommend splitting into two different tours. Also, very hot weather in June.
