Our guide was knowledgeable and taught us about the Acropolis, but I had requested a kid-friendly tour as much as possible and the guide didn’t really tailor it to include the kids in any way. I would suggest this tour for someone without kids, and families would likely be better served with one specifically advertised for kids.

The tour guide focused a bit much on the actual history of Rome . She was delightful but took a bit to long at each site . Did not get to complete the list of stops promised on tour.
