Great

We really enjoyed the Rome in a Day Tour. Even though we had already visited a few of the sites the day previously, the tour was fantastic and we learned so many new and interesting things we wouldn't have learned on our own. Our tour guide, Fabrizio, was amazing!!! He was so knowledgeable, and even though the tour lasted almost 8 hours, he didn't stop talking and was an absolute fountain of knowledge about all the historical sites! Especially valuable were the detailed descriptions of the Colosseum, Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, we learned so many interesting things that we couldn't possibly ever have learned on our own. Although we were very tired at the end of our walking your, we have made memories that we will never forget!
