Very interesting and informative talk. The walk felt quite long, but have been doing a lot of walking for past 3 days. She was very informed about romes history and able to answer all questions the attendees asked. She is very polite and interested in all who attended.

Ruza has done a lot of research to come up with this original tour. She shared with us with a lot of historical and legend information that captivated us throughout the 2.30 hours of wandering around. The tour was our first insight into Rome. It was a very pleasant educational one, in the superb Villa Borghese.

It was a nice walk through a lesser-known part of Rome. Ruza is an enthusiastic guide, but at times hard to understand.
