Clara was an exceptional guide. Well informed, passionate and friendly. She went out of her way to show us particular spots she thought special!
Tour was creepy due to using the bones for decoration. But it was still very interesting. Hard to imagine that there were bones from 4000 friars.
We loved the tour. Our tour guide was excellent, very knowledgable and enthusiastic. The tour is different from the usual Roman sites and well worth the price.
Thank you for joining our tour and for the kind words about our tour guide.
