Our guide Marcius is very knowledgable, funny and patient and he really took the time to guide us through ancient Rome history. My family, including my 11-year old, had a very pleasant experience. The tour lasted for over 3 hours and it was very well planned. The only downside was the size of the group: this was claimed a small group tour with less than 20 people, but instead there were at least 26 people. Overall, this was the best tour we had in Italy!

Very interesting visit. Very well documented and explained. There are images of the present and the ancient time and you can make a real overview.

Excellent guide. Mrs. Samantha made an excellent job pointing the places with accuracy
