    This was an awesome experience! It was beautiful to see all of the architecture lit up at night. The only minor issue is it left about 25 minutes later than scheduled(left at 8:45pm instead of 8:20pm), so be careful if planning something directly after. But that being said, we all had a great time, Roma is quite a breathtaking city.
