Rob our guide was knowledged in both the book, story timeline and Rome history. And also explained the differences from the original Dan Brown book to the Hollywood actual film. It was fantastic that he both had a degree in geology and history. He could couple fiction and facts together. Explain about the different types of maple used. Volcanic materials used for pavement. He was good 👌 So - please take this tour.
