Great views, awesome stories

Oliver_V, Nov 2022

Lots of fun! Valentina was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Rome, it’s buildings and associated people. We started on the bridge and climbed up to the top with various stops to explain how the castle was built and repurposed. Beautiful day and one of the best views of Rome at the top. Took about 2 hours with plenty of time for pictures. Also had the rest of the time afterwards to spend on our own.
