    This sightseeing tour on foot was great, despite the rain. It was very interesting to see with my own eyes what I learned at school and know from textbooks. In the second tier there is an exposition and a lot of interesting information. We enjoyed it very much!

    All went very well from start to finish without a glitch 👌. Was great to be walking and standing thousands of years later where the great Romans lived, worshipped, played and died. Thanks for giving me the chance to experience it as I missed out on getting tickets from the official website 👍😀
