  After attending many of Mario Bernardi's virtual tours during the Covid lockdown, we booked a 5-day custom private tour with Mario that included Ancient Rome walking tour (Coliseum, Forum, and... read more the Palatine Hill); Appian Way, Underground Catacombs, and Roman Baths of Caracalla; Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, Vatican Gardens, and Scava; Baroque Rome walking tour (including Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and Pantheon); Borghese Gallery and Gardens; and a walking tour of the Ancient Jewish Ghetto (wonderful fried artichokes for lunch) and Trastevere. Mario had a driver pick us up at the airport (at 11 p.m. after our flight was delayed!), and we also had drivers at various points to make our walking tours more convenient and doable. At approximately $3,000 for two (which included all entrance fees), it was worth every penny.
