Sarah was phenomenal. She was so informative, was so gracious in letting us stand in the shade whenever possible, and was just a delight to be around. I would 100% recommend her to anyone traveling to Rome and wants to do a tour of colosseum and Roman forum. She gave us so many fun facts that we realized no one else got on their tours. Such a great tour!!!
