I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Patricia. She dealt with me for a month before we even got there. So many moving parts to this tour which ended up being over 8 hours. She personally met us at the Colosseum to make sure everything was going well. Not only did she select great drivers who got us everywhere on time and found us the best coffee right off the cruise but she found us the best tour guide around. Mohammed is so well versed in the history and culture of Rome. He was able to meet the needs of 9 different personalities who were interested in history, culture, culinary and the arts. He is an expert at "herding cats" as he managed to keep us all together and on time while guiding us from St. Peter's Basilica through the streets of Rome to an amazing restaurant which was able to meet our gluten free needs. That will be another review but amazing. We saw Piazza Navarra with it's fountains, walked through so many shops, and then made it to the Colosseum in time for our tour. After the Colosseum, we made it through Palatine Hill and the Forum. Then we visited the Pantheon and finally finished with Trevi Fountain. I can't even remember everything we saw. This is our third time to Rome and he is the best guide I have ever had in any country. He is the only guide who has offered us the chance to pray at the Basilica. I will be contacting Patricia every time we head to Rome and will definitely use her again. Truly an amazing experience even adhering to the Italian government's ever changing Covid protocols. They were simply the best.
