This was one of our favorite tours. Our guide was AMAZING! This was so enjoyable. What we saw was incredible. The layers upon layers under current day Rome is mind blowing! Our guide did a GREAT JOB helping us grasp it all. She used visual aids and explained it in detail. A must do!

Hands down our family fav tour of Rome! Our tour guide was an archeologist and was so knowledgeable. We learned so much and my teens can’t stop talking about it. I even caught the hubs on the phone telling his friends about it. Amazing. Just do it.
