I didn't know what to expect from this tour but somehow it covered Etruscans and their construction skills (impressive); Romans and their roads and houses (see the evidence with your own eyes); Julius Caesar, Gaius Octavius Caesar Augustus, the siege of Perugia and the gate of Augustus. Lorenzo was knowledgeable and helpful. A brief tour but well worth doing - I enjoyed it. Thank you!
