Must do tour!
Lara was an excellent guide. She was full of information and gave it in an excellent manner; she wasn’t just reciting a script. The tour hits interesting locations, isn’t lots of walking, and doing it at night makes it fun. Highly recommend.

Great experience
Our tour guide Karen was very knowledgable. We learnt alot about ancient rome and would highly reccomend this to anyone.

Lot of room for improvement
I would never recommend for a solo traveler. The host is a sweet little tiny girl, and it was almost impossible to spot her, as if she wanted not to be spotted. She was holding the sign with her arm across the little piece of paper. The tour time is obviously late in the evening when it is starting to get dark. I was there for barely 12 minutes and then I bailed.
