We went on a fantastic tour which was led by Eva who gave a very in depth and interesting insight to Ancient Rome. She was upbeat, enthusiastic, funny and made the tour a really enjoyable experience! She was always happy to answer any questions we had and made the whole tour extremely enjoyable. I can’t recommend doing this tour enough as we got to see the Colosseum and the Roman Forum with a guide who knew so much about the history. Thank you so much Eva!
