Yes, that is still the price. I booked it last month.

I have a story for you: in February 2001 I was scheduled and mailed payment for three people to take the Scavi Tour. Sadly, two days before the trip my Dad passed away unexpectedly. I cancelled the trip and sent e-mails, including to the Scavi Tour Office. I mentioned not to worry about a refund. In November 2004, I took my Mom to Rome and one of the things we did was the Scavi Tour. When I showed up at the Office to pay for my reservations, there was a handwritten note next to my name where it stated that I had paid already for the tour and wishing me and my family a good tour. The absolute most amazing customer service detail I have ever experienced.

Kristina... thanks for confirmation on the price! I emailed them for my request in September, hope that gives me a good chance of getting it.

I found them to be very nice in that office and this only confirms that there are really caring people in the world!
