I hesitated to give 4 stars because this is an excellent tour. Our tour guide was passionate, knowledgeable, and personable. There are two reasons I provide 4 stars for a 'Very Good' rating, instead of an Excellent 4 star review. First, all of our paperwork and tickets indicated that this tour would begin at 8:30 a.m. When our tour guide didn't appear, I called and the company said that the tour would begin at 9:30. Our tour guide did arrive promptly at 9:30, but this needs to be noted and care must be taken to edit e-tickets and communication. Second, I would say that this is a wonderful full day tour, yet it didn't feel tailored to children. We traveled with our 12 year old daughter, and I wouldn't describe it as entertaining. It just felt like a tour we would take as adults. We had taken a previous tour in Florence, which included more visuals and games that felt captivating. This Rome tour is long, and my husband and I enjoyed it immensely, but it felt overwhelming for our daughter, who needed to stop and rest, and who would have benefitted from more games or more engaging activities.
