The tour was informative because our guide was very knowledgeable and we got to see a lot of Rome. Beware this is a hiking tour as it is described. It was fine for us and we knew this but because there were many people (4) not suitable for this they slowed things down and/or had to drop out. This was not the guides fault but something to note. You need to come equipped with water bottle, comfortable shoes, maybe a hat and fan or umbrella if it’s hot like it was for us. ( 96 degrees). You need to be in shape and ready to be on your feet and walking for 8 hours/10 k steps.

This was the BEST way to take in Rome when you have limited time. I had been to Rome once before and I learned so much on this tour compared to when I was there previously. It isn’t too strenuous - slow paced walk, lots of information, and a comfortable ride between the Coliseum and the Vatican. The guide is what made the tour so great! Enrica (hope I spelled that right) was informative, funny, and down-to-Earth throughout the whole trip. She made sure to stop for pictures and even help take them. Highly recommend!!

We walked all around Rome with our tour guide who shared details of all the historical places we passed. After the Colosseum, we boarded a bus to drive across town to the Vatican tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and was eager to share information about the sites.
