This sounds to have been a wonderful well-organised retreat, especially for any first-time visitors to Rome. I have accompanied James around Italy in general, and Rome in particular, on many occasions and I know that the participants could not have had a more knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, although as his father I must confess to perhaps a little bias in this opinion! To be told authoritatively about historical events at the site(s) where they actually happened is both an enlightening and a humbling experience. I hope that this becomes a regular event and that in the extremely capable hands of Evan and James it garners the support and patronage that it clearly deserves.

Thank you David, and I certainly second your opinion — I can’t think of anyone I’d prefer to explore Italy with! James is a fount of knowledge and made my job as retreat co-host exceptionally easy. I’m very much looking forward to future retreats, whether in Rome, Venice, Malta, or elsewhere..
