Riccardo was a fabulous guide! Great balance of historical and practical info. Especially loved the look inside the Aqueduct and the stop at the water fountain at the end. A great tour of something not on the usual tourist track.

Excellent guide Joseph!!! Very knowledgeable about the subject matter. Beautiful park with full view of the Aqueducts. Joseph was open to all questions, etc. He even pointed out numerous tree types that were in the area and even showed me the Roman road (The Latin road) which is the second oldest road in Rome. Joseph!!!!!!! 5 stars!!! Don’t miss this interesting tour.
