Description

Step back in time and explore the grandeur of Ancient Rome on this immersive walking tour through the city’s most legendary sites.

A strong summary of Italian history

Vittoria took our little group along of some major important buildings. Romans and Mussolini were explained in relation to the buildings/monuments. The very nice walk through history. Thank you Vittoria.

Another fabulous outing wit Justin

Justin from Scandic Tours gave us a wonderful introductory tour of Rome on our arrival yesterday and, this morning, he led us on another interesting, fact filled, amusing tour of ancient Rome. We toured the outside of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Capitoline Hill while Justin explained their origin and reasons for their decline. We loved it.

Tour with justin

Absolutely fantastic tour! Justin was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Rome. He made the history come alive and shared so many interesting stories and details that we would have never discovered on our own. The tour was fun, engaging, and very well organized from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Rome, definitely one of the highlights of our trip, thanks a lot again Justin
