Thanks Andrea - Andrea was very informative and kind, especially considerate toward my pregnant wife. She took things slowly, pointed out areas where my wife could rest—such as lifts—and always adjusted to our pace. She was genuinely thoughtful and made the experience really enjoyable. Thank you very much, Andrea.

So so - The guide was knowledgeable from the point of view of an atheist. We Christians got angry when he said that Jesus Christ was a myth and did not existed. He did not acknowledged that Nero burned Rome and blamed Christian’s who were killed. He blamed constantly the Catholic Church for building their basilicas with materials from the coliseum.
