The Itinerary and Locations

Meeting Point and First Stop: The Colosseum

The last stop is the Roman Forum, a place rich in history and atmosphere. Here, the guide uses the ruins creatively, making sure your photos showcase both the ancient stones and your personal connection to the city. Travelers have described their photos as “stunning,” and many appreciate how smoothly the session flows, with the guide managing timing and posing.
