John (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent. Informative, interesting and presented in a clear way.""
Sunil (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Very enjoyable walk & talk. The guide showed us the main sites in the City and gave us a geographical and historical perspective."
Anne (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was a most enjoyable and educational walk. The guide was outstanding in terms of his knowledge and ability to convey it In an accessible - and humorous way at times. He came over as more of a historian who did not dumb down but instead respected the intelligence of the group. Having spoken to a good number of the large group of participants, all remarked on how good and pleasant the guide was. What I valued also was his suggestions for further explorations of the Roman theme whether on future walks or privately. We were blessed by excellent weather for the time of year. The only suggestion I would make would be to give a more prominent indication of the amount of walking involved and extent of ground covered as people with even slight mobility problems might have found it hard to keep up with the pace required at times between stops. That said, for those fit enough, the exercise involved was actually a nice bonus."
