Loved it. So easy. Silvia was outstanding. Guide really knew her stuff but also was able to customize what we were interested in on the fly. Loooove.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

So glad to hear it felt smooth and personal. Silvia has a real gift for reading the room and adapting with ease. Grazie for being with us! Silvia & The Eyes of Rome Team
