It was fine an extremely hot day. The amount of walking was excessive for the heat and from the Colosseum to the bus was way too far of a hike.

We really learned a lot from Davide, our tour guide! From Plazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain, to the Colosseum and Vatican City. Davide educated us on the nuances of life in Rome, both then and now. It was super hot, but he always made every effort to get the group to shade. I highly recommend this tour!

We had such an amazing experience on our Rome in a Day tour! It was the perfect way to see so much of Rome in a limited amount of time without ever feeling like we had to figure everything out on our own. The tour was very well organized, and we were able to see so many of the major sights while also learning a lot about the history behind them. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day really enjoyable. It was a long and busy day, but absolutely worth it, especially if you only have a short amount of time in Rome and want to make the most of it. This was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Rome, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting for the first time!
