We met Christa outside the castle Sant Angelo at the pre arranged time , Vhrista was there early and identifiable plus she had a list of names of those on the tour. Christa was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about Rome. Christa encouraged us to ask questions and she wanted us to enjoy he experience with her. I would recommend a tour if you want to enjoy Rome to the fullest extent.

Alec Baldwin (love the name) was a gratious and kind host. His knowledge was enlightening. He had a way of being real without being offensive, which we found refreshing. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome.
