The tour itself was fantastic, both beautiful and interesting. We were met right at our hotel with no issues, and everthing was taken care of for us.
It was our guide, Federica, that brought Rome to life for us. Not only was she kind and patient, but she was so knowledgeable about this beautiful city. Her love for Rome is evident, and her passion draws you into the culture and history of this magical place. Thank you, truly, for such an amazing experience!
