What a wonderful tour this was! Whilst it did not include entry into the Colosseum or the Forums, we really didn't need it. Everything is very visible while walking along the streets of ancient Rome at dusk. The temperature was very pleasant compared to the scorch during the day and Zenda was on...
What a wonderful tour this was! Whilst it did not include entry into the Colosseum or the Forums, we really didn't need it. Everything is very visible while walking along the streets of ancient Rome at dusk. The temperature was very pleasant compared to the scorch during the day and Zenda was one of the best your guides I've had in Rome! So knowledgeable and so in love with Rome and it's history. She answered all of our questions and was an absolute pleasure to be around too! She even impressed the tourists around us were definitely sneaking by and listening in. The customer service is also great. We got stuck in traffic and were running a little late and called the number on the ticket/booking. The gentleman we spoke with was very helpful so there was no issue in the end. Thank you Zenda and Touriks for a marvellous experience!Jack S
