This is a wonderful tour... - This is a wonderful tour but there is a lot of walking, cobblestone pavement, and stair climbing involved. When we reached security our tour was split into two groups and we had to wait for a second guide to be found before those in the second group could proceed. The tour guide was interesting and knowledgeable.

Info good. Fair bit of hanging around. Missed entry to Forum - Knowledgable guy. Friendly & accommodating. But possibly too accommodating to realise we were going to miss entry to the forum, so a large chunk of the tour could not be carried out because we were denied entry & didn’t get up to Palatine hill
