Enjoyable & educational tour of the Forum and Palatine Hill.

Highly educational experience, learning about Roman life in and around the Forum. Our tour guide, who was a college professor, did an amazing job explaining the historical facts about Roman history, emperors, Senators, and the Palatine Hill. It was an amazing experience.
