Silvia was an excellent guide for our tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. She was very knowledgeable about the history and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and really interesting. Her passion for the history of Rome made the whole experience much more enjoyable. Highly recommend Silvia if you’re visiting these sites!
