We had a very interesting and enjoyable tour of historic Rimini with Sabrina. Sabrina is extremely knowledgeable on the history of Rimini and shared her knowledge with us in an factual but fun way. She guided us through the most historic and important churches, Piazzas and bridges giving us time to absorb the history and take plenty of pictures! We felt like she gave us a very thorough tour of the ancient, older part of the city. She also pointed out some of her favorite places which we found interesting. We highly recommend Sabrina.
