Fun and interesting with Tati - Tati was an excellent guide. In addition to making the visit very interesting, she lived it and made us live it. She is very friendly and told us many anecdotes and tips from Rome. Also note that she was very attentive to my parents. It was fun and interesting.

Tour guide a no-show - Our tour guide did not show up to work, so the tour company called in a backup. The tour started 45 minutes late and was therefore rushed. The audio quality was not good and the guide was frazzled because of being called in last minute.
