    What a great experience! For someone who did our tour for the 3rd time in one day—Maria was amazing! Thank you for the best tour we had in Rome!

    Xenia the tour guide was great! Very knowledgeable. I was a little disappointed that 20 people is considered a “small” group, but it ended up being okay. We did have two older woman with mobility issues and that impacted the group. They should make a tour specifically for people that aren’t able to do a lot of steps. Despite all that, it was amazing and worth our time. There is SO much to see you could do this tour multiple times.
