Great Tour with Sara - We had an incredible tour with our guide, Sara, through the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. She was very informative and extremely knowledgeable of the area. English being her second language, she spoke it better than me being my primary language. I would definitely recommend taking this tour and we will definitely be scheduling another tour upon our next visit.

Excellent tour - superb sites and access - Great tour. My son (10) found it a little long and not entirely suitable (earphones didn’t fit his little ears). The guide was superb.
