    We booked two tours with Roman Vacations during our trip to Italy and both were exceptional. This tour and our guide were one of the highlights of our trip. He covered so much with breadth and depth and the tour was enjoyable to all. Our group was small as promised , the guide was knowledgeable , patient and made the tour so interesting. Each step covered a new site and information was presented factually and was well accepted by all . The day was a scorcher and our guide managed to keep us all comfortable and hydrated. There was so much incredible context , and a phenomenal presentation of history and interesting stories that we could not have accessed on our own. The pic ops were plentiful and the combination of forum , palatine hill and colosseum were so well matched to the description on the companies website and so much more. Thank you for a really memorable day for each and everyone of us. I highly recommend this tour company they are trustworthy , honest and so skilled in what they do. Our guide was exceptional at his job and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting to know more !!!!! Thank you to all of you !

    Intressant och bra tempo. Bra med en mindre grupp. Lite svårt att höra/hänga med ibland då guiden pratade väldigt fort på engelska med dialekt.
