Campo de' Fiori, Rome, Italy Between the glory days of the Roman Empire and the beauty of the Italian Renaissance, medieval Rome was a city of desperation and suspicion.

The guide was excellent and the tour both informative and entertaining. Take the 9:15pm tour: walking in the dark added the right ambience.

This tour was a lot of fun and just the right amount of time. Our guide, Althea, was great! She had a really good sense of humor, which made the tour even more enjoyable. Also, she walked at just the right pace and that was a great relief to someone like myself that has a hard time walking because of back issues. The places we visited all had interesting stories and it was really neat to see them at night. Also, one of the things that was pointed out was something that you can find all over Rome so the tour continued to provide us with enjoyment after we were done with it. I definitely recommend this tour.
