My mother and I enjoyed a great tour not only with Angels and Demons background info imbedded, but so many additional stories of Romes’s history and culture! Tourists need a tour like this to really understand this colorful city with rich history and Luisa clearly loved what she talked about and gave us the best experience! It also was a very comfortable pace for us and I would recommend this to all traveling here!”
