Has anyone taken the Scavi Tour? We are traveling in October and I am concerned about excessive heat and close spaces. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Took the tour a couple of weeks ago and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We actually did the tour early in our stay in Rome and it helped to set the scene for many other sites we visited. It was during a period of extremely high heat and humidity in Rome, and yes, it was very humid during the tour. However, nothing extraordinary or unbearable. I highly recommend that, if you're able to get tickets, you go for it - it was extremely interesting and informative. Put us out right in the middle of St. Peter's also so we ended up not having to wait in the huge security lineup to see the basilica.
