After a delayed flight and receiving the news that not a single luggage had been loaded onto the airline, our group was exhausted, frustrated, and starving. Though we were running late, we were greeted with joy and warm welcomes. It was the perfect ending to a very long, very frustrating day. I highly recommend this, especially for your first night in Rome. It’s a great introduction to this wonderful city.Read more”
