Good tour of the Forum, Colosseum, and Palatine Hill

Excellent tour with Iván in Spanish… he is entertaining and explains well. In any case, highly recommended. A suggestion: when there is a chance of rain, in addition to providing the headsets, bring some disposable plastic ponchos. Because we got rain

Roma!

Our guide was from Rome and e remedy knowledgeable. He made the information really interesting even though he says it over and over. His perspective on history was quite refreshing. He was easy to understand and personable. We spent the exact right amount of time in each location. Small groups are the best. In larger groups you wait too long for people to use the bathroom and climb stairs!
