The excursion was amazing and wonderfully comprehensive.
I studied archeology for 7 years; the details he provided were detailed and up to date.
All the small stories were captivating, giving us context of the bigger historical picture.
Highly recommended, one of the best tour guides I’ve had, after visiting almost all of the main European touristic attractions.
Fantastic

Maria Letizia was a wonderful guide. It was great to be able to "skip the lines" which were incredibly long when we were there. It was terribly crowded, which made the experience less than ideal- but Maria guided us through with lots of important information. It was nice to meet other people on our tour.
Awesome!
