For me, it was an exciting experience with Italian charisma. - It was an absolutely incredible experience. I was like a little child listening and looking at everything around me. And our guide played an important role in all my interest. Thanks to her, I could better dive into the history of Rome at that time. So, thank you for this wonderful tour!

Get what you pay for - This is good if you are comfortable with exploring on your own. If you are looking for a tour guide then this tour is NOT for you.
This is how it work:
You download an app to get an audio guide of the attraction, then You will meet your “guide” he or she will give you your ticket, then you are on your own to explore.
