I have been on bus tours through Rome, but this is the first time I really saw and enjoyed the historical sites. Before, following the flag and bumping through crowds while trying to hear the guide was impossible. Then there was the heat. After telling him we were light eaters, he took as to a quiet restaurant where we ate a delicious light lunch in the shade. We strolled the local market afterwards, then continued our tour.”
