Damiano’s expert knowledge and affable charm made the tour both enriching and fun.

Superb! Damiano brought Ancient Rome to life. Being an archaeologist and historian, the knowledge and stories he shared with the group, not to mention his witty repartee kept us engaged and wonderfully entertained throughout the tour.
