Perfect for people interested in both history of Roman culture and modern politics of Italy. Learned a lot about how the Italy system works as well as how they got here

Lovely tour around major sights with interesting information! Love how we toured from the ancient seat of power all the way to the modern one. Have done multiple Voicemap tours from the History of Italy podcast and they never dissapoint!
