100% Recommended!! - Henry was our guide and he was absolutely fantastic! He really loves his job and is so passionate about art history. He made the experience so fun. The meeting point was also really easy to find for a first timer in Rome. It’s a lot of walking so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. 100% recommended
