Tour provided context of the Ghetto within broader Roman history across time

Jeffrey_K, Sept 2025

James was a tremendous guide. He contextualized the Ghetto within the larger Roman experience over hundreds of years. He was also Incredibly knowledgeable about a broad range of Roman history. We peppered him with myriad questions out of intellectual curiosity and because he covered so much ground. He had the answer to them all. Amazing. And to top it off, he made it fun. And introduced us to the best ice cream in Rome! Thank you James!
