A morning of history
This was a great tour! Elena knew so much about the history of this spectacular place, particularly the stories of the women of the time. We got to see all the important sites and learn about how life in ancient Rome differed from and yet is still similar to today. And then, she gave us a great recommendation for a lunch spot nearby. Loved it!
