This was such a brilliant experience and is definitely a must-do tour for when visiting Rome! Our guide, Andreas, was the perfect tour guide. He was funny and told us a lot about the sites and their history. Any questions people had, he answered. We loved the pictures he brought for the history lesson too! Started at the colosseum, then headed to palatine hill and then the forum. Our feet were a little bit sore so we definitely recommend wearing comfy shoes as it’s a fair walk! 10/10 tour with 10/10 guide and will hopefully be back again soon!
