Great guide! - Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Rome and spoke English very well. The tour provides headsets. The only downside to the tour is that the headset is a single earpiece for the right ear. The tour started in Piazza Navona square where a man was playing music, which was beautiful, but quite loud and we were standing nearby. It made it difficult to hear the guide. It would have helped to move further away from the musician. Even after we moved away I still struggled to hear clearly with the one earpiece. I happened to have a headset with two ear pieces with me from a tour bus so swapped over and was able to hear much better. A bonus of the tour was no confusion about where to get tickets and the skip the line of just following our guide into the Pantheon. I definitely recommend this tour.

Try another tour - Claudia G was knowledgeable but cut the tour short by 35 minutes and did not complete the final itinerary item to palace. Not sure why you would cut a tour short. A self guided tour would have sufficed
