Recommended tour by a native of Rome

Although I’m from Rome (and so know the city quite well), I found the tour really enjoyable, with fascinating facts about Rome and its notable figures throughout the centuries. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and told us lots of interesting stories. The rest of the tour’s charm comes from Rome itself, with fantastic views round every corner.

Pamela = awesome

Pamela was a wonderful tour guide. Made what would seem mundane locations fun and engaging. Perfect length and worth every penny. And her hair was awesome.
