Rocky Ruggiero info@rockyruggiero.com www.rockyruggiero.com
We highly recommend doing a half day tour (or two!), with one of Rocky’s fabulous guides (ask for Emily) to ensure entrance to certain places and lots of historical insight.
If you don’t have time for a tour, always be sure to rent the audio guides!!
