This tour was on our first day in Rome and it was a great introduction to the city. We saw a lot in a short period of time, including the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon and several other wonderful sights. The morning tour ended at the Vatican and there's an option to see the Colosseum in the afternoon but we did that on a different day. It's definitely good value for the price, as we saw a lot. Our tour guide was great and we had a really fun time.
