our guide Ingrid sorted everything for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the tour we did in rome last year, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question, tbh

our guide Ana sorted everything for us and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight ... Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar tour we tried in athens, and came away with 200+ photos. Would book again no question.
