I'd Give More Stars if I Could - This was truly unforgettable. It was the third and final tour of the ancient part of Rome. I had been concerned about duplication of information but each of the tours was slightly different and there wasn't very much overlap. This was the most in-depth tour. It covered bothe side of the ancient Forum, including Trajan's Column. It also covered more of the Forum than my other two tours had. And the included both tours of the imperial palace. Those tours are underground and feature reconstructions of the walls w/ light. It sounds odd but it works well. My guide then took me around the rest of the palace grounds and pointed out various features. She recommended two museums if I wanted further information. I visited the museum at the Palatine Hill. It is small but very good. I am so glad I took this tour. It was the completion of the visit to Ancient Rome. The guide is simply one of the best I encountered and I had some great guides.

Don't miss if you are in Rome - An excellent tour guide, highly knowledgeable in history and archeology. The tour it was difficult because we wanted to see such many things- House of Livia, House of Augustus, Imperial Fori, Roman Forum. Houses were impressive because they try to recreate the ancient atmosphere. For us, the tour means rediscover the roots, the ancestors. But anyway this tour definitely worth.
