5.00Marco did such a great job! He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and getting the tour from an actual Roman was an unforgettable experience. He was able to answer all my group’s oddball questions and even laughed at my jokes! Tour overall was easy and informative even among the chaos of tourists.
