Very enjoyable and time efficient !

Very informative but not too long! Long enough to appreciate the fountain and its ancient water supply origins and function.

Full group, was probably...

Full group, was probably too big of a group for the underground. Informative and knowledgeable, I wish the Trevi portion included the lower section near the basin (it did not). Our guide was nice.

Great guide

The Guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She did well. The information and underground ruins were amazing. But whomever manages this site allowed too many other tour groups in at the same time. Awfully crowded in a already tight space. But still worth the tour.

Not worth it

Too short a tour. The ground is disappointingly small.
