Good guide, hard to find

Based on reviews, we knew that the guide was difficult for some to find. So we looked up the collection location in advance and it was easy to find with the instructions received. The instructions with which guide belongs to us was NOT correct. There was a very different sign up than you would expect and only quite late. But just found at the right location (the only one with a Dutch text). The guide was very friendly and knew many things to tell, clearly Dutch and a pleasant guide to visit everything. When the 3 hours were up because we had not seen everything, the Tour was not cut short, very neat. We were also informed by SMS and whatsapp early in the morning that we had to collect 20min later by order of the authorities (busy). Very satisfied, only in the instructions the indication should be better for the text that the guide has on his plate!

Heard a lot about Rome and what it was like. Without a guide/explanation, the old reunions would remain without a story. It all went fast, sometimes would have liked to look around a bit longer to let the story sink in.

Very interesting but everything went quite fast leaving little chance to enjoy everything and fully absorb the experience.
