Ancient Rome with Giovanna. No Stone Unturned - We found Viator by searching for quality reviews online (trip advisor). Having looked at various options, Viator scored highly in our search. Booking was simple even though there were plenty of itinery options. Our guide, Giovanna was exactly who we needed. Her wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for the ancient Rome sites was incredible. Intricate knowledge, mini facts and good humour made our day. A full-on 3-hour tour only left us wanting more. Thank you Giovanna Our expectations were exceeded

Satisfied - Unlucky with the weather but our guide was very good and we got many wow and wow about what we heard about the story. We are very satisfied. The small minus was that we did not enter the Coliseum. And everything was outside.

Excellent tour! - Here’s an improved version of your review — it keeps your tone natural and appreciative but reads a bit smoother and more polished: --- Excellent tour! Yousef shared fascinating historical facts and context that truly brought ancient Rome to life. His storytelling made it easy to imagine what the city was like more than 2,000 years ago. Highly recommended!
