What to expect
Meet your guide near the Colosseum with valid ID and the names you booked under. You'll move between Rome's heavyweight monuments on foot, so wear decent shoes and expect hills. Your guide speaks the city's layered history—amphitheatres, forums, temples—without the scripted spiel. You're navigating busy streets and crowded piazzas, though having a guide helps you read what matters rather than just gawp. Bring water. The route isn't fixed, so mention preferences upfront and adjust as you go.
