CHRISTIANO, our driver and new friend was amazing! He was friendly and engaging. Well versed in the city and history, friendly and helpful at every turn. Listened and assisted in every way possible to make it a truly enjoyable tour. Translated and gave recommendations on food and places to visit. Best part of Rome so far. It was an honor to meet Christiano and have him as our guide.
Perfect Day
