Secrets of Rome Evening Walking Tour

A walk around Rome with an enthusiastic guide!

We had a very enjoyable and informative walk through Rome with our guide, Adrian. As the rest of the participants were late, we were just our family of 4, so we received a very personal tour from Adrian. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the information he had to give and went into great detail. We all enjoyed it immensely and can only recommend taking this tour. It is so worth the money.
