Really enjoyed this tour and the wealth of knowledge regarding Rome's ancient history! The only downside is the tour is a bit rushed and felt as if the guide only highlighted key or interesting information that he though...

This was a great tour! Our guide knew the history and did a great job explaining it to us as we walked through the museums and buildings. Lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water!
