I could also do all of that myself if I'm going to have provide nearly as much information to the the concierge versus just booking directly. Outside of the aforementioned Coliseum tickets.
​​​​​​It wasn't just tickets, or restaurant reservations, or something simple like that. The rep put together an itinerary that had a lot of unique, not so touristy content which the guy felt really made the trip special.
