Excellent private tour - My wife and I arrived for the Aventine hill tour only to find that we were the only ones on the tour. Our guide Giorgio, was very kind and very informative. If we are ever in Rome again we will request Giorgio as our tour guide for other sites as well. This is a very interesting tour and a must-see.

Beautiful view but long queueing and hard to get a photo - First time coming to rome we decided on our last day we would go to the famous keyhole to see the St Peter’s church. Amazing! But… we waited 1 hour and a half, luckily it didn’t rain. Getting up there was hard enough the road said it was closed so we had to walk all the way round. When we finally saw through the key hole we wanted a good picture… while a lady at the bad of the even longer queue then we joined, was clapping us to get a move. Very disappointed we didn’t get longer to try and get the perfect shot and why this lady would be so rude as to not allow people to have their turn. Other than that it was so beautiful to physically see, just a lot of walking and queueing (we arrived at 3:30pm and took the picture at 5:00pm on a Saturday) also a food and drink stand there :)
