Ferdinando our guide was phenomenal. Other Viator tour we had to search to find the location. Our guide emailed the night before and sent a picture of the location as well as the address and detailed directions
Our Guide was Indispensable

Ferdinand was a knowledgeable guide who navigated the structure and the crowds to show us the best vantage points and interesting spots.
He had a low-key delivery, and used the information he had accumulated during his studies of Roman archeology to make this tour absolutely fascinating.
He helped make our trip to Rome memorable.
