About this experience
The tour includes both very popular attractions and lesser known places, I recommend taking this tour on the first day of visiting Rome to have a better orientation and a base to better understand the city, its 27 centuries of history, art and legends, all this with a little spirit and fun. The tour is generally done on foot but for those who want it can also be done with an e-bike or other half cost to be included.
