Gabriel's tour of the Forum, Palatine Hill and the Colosseum was wonderful. A very informative talk about the areas was supported by afair degree of humor. Gabriel certainly knows his stuff (and classic movies too). He was also a gracious guide, making sure everyone had stops when necessary and kept things slow as we ascended hills ans challenging stairs. A great tour.
