Definitely something new that is not easy to find in Rome. I really enjoyed a tour that managed to touch on points so rich in history, like every single Roman stone, but which are almost never traveled on a guided tour. Then, a guide like Daniel. I couldn't have found better! Truly an original way of capturing Rome. Great is to say the least!
What a wonderful tour! I never imagined we could learn so much in just two hours. The views were breathtaking, and we took some incredible photos—I’ll be posting a couple of them in the next few days. Hats off to our guide, Daniel, for making history come alive. Highly recommended!
