That spot overlooking the Forum is one of my favorite spots in the world.

Hi Gator girl. We left Roma this morning for our cruise. We followed this yesterday, it was fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time to create it. It was amazing.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve done all of those walks. Even the last one. However, I found by accident cuz I didn’t know exactly where i was going.

So informative. There is so much of ancient Rome in the city. Those uninformed just walk by and think...another old thing. Thanks!

Amazing. Thanks for the tips. I love your videos. A big hug from Brazil.

[ChristieNoble]

Wow, discreet yet so sneaky and uncrowded! Isn't Clivus Argentarius kind of inside the Forum? I wish I could hire you as my tour guide. I guess it isn't because there seem to be barriers but it feels so deliciously naughty.

Thank you, your videos are very helpful!

Excellent video, have been to Rome 4x and your tour was superlative. We did a bicycle tour from 6:30 to 11 pm with an outstanding guide, which we got on the north side of the Colleseum. The Forum is amazing at 2000 yrs old.
