Creator's Key Takeaways
I'll walk you through my simple 5h hour, $50 itinerary, Coliseum, Trevy Fountain, Spanish Steps, and more.
The best part of this plan is it can all be done for less than $50 per person.
Don't miss the ship. That is the biggest rule in exploring on your own.
I would highly recommend that. That way, you get to see it all.
