Exceeded expectations - Absolutely phenomenal guide, Mr Mohammed. Clearly the best tour I’ve ever taken. We were looked after very well without being rushed. Saw things we never expected and learned so much. It exceeded expectations.

Great Rome tour in a day - Our guide Mohammed is archaeologist, that's why he tried to share his scientific view and his historical knowledge to us. I would suggest you to have this experience when you visit Rome
