Alessia was great. The tour was about 45 minutes longer than it needed to be. By the time we got to the forum we were all tired and hot and my teens zoned out. I would recommend shortening the tour a bit. Also, my teens would have liked more stories about the gladiators and less about the stones used - there was a lot of discussion about the stones/bricks.
Alessia was amazing! Very knowledgeable and provided a lot of historical context and background
The tour was very well planned out. Alessia was very skilled at getting us through each line to enter and getting us through each exhibit. She was extremely knowledgeable and kept the interest of the adults and kids. My kids loved her. She was flexible as well as we were all very tired and hot in the crowds.
