Had a wonderful time being shown around Rome and seeing all the wonderful sites. Had a bit of a mix up originally with City unscripted but they were able to organsie a replacement quickly. Would love to use them next time we travel. Thank you Ugo for showing us the sites.

My partner is not so much into history as me so went on the 'eat like a roman' tour instead and let me go on this with Cecilia. It's such a privilege to be in Rome to begin with but then to share it with someone like her who clearly loves her city and its proud heritage that you cant helped but be enthused by the whole thing. I also loved that since my partner was also on a CU experience that we could arrange to meet up for lunch half way through and then go on our merry ways again. When they say they're flexible and like a friend, they mean it. Brilliant. I'm inspired and will be back!
