“Excellent. We had Astrid who is amazing. It was the Italian tour! (Couldn't get the English tour) With 9 English and Americans, 2 Malaysians, 2 Spanish and 3 Italians. Astrid made it work for everyone. She's lovely and inclusive. Made actors out of some of us to "imagine" the times. Very knowledgeable. Very entertaining. And the Colosseum. Wow! Went there 30 years ago, before it was developed and just free to wander around. I was impressed then. Certainly more impressed now with what they've done and having such a knowledgeable guide.”
