Our guide was Valentina, very kind and knowledgeable. She explained herself very well and everything was understood. Highly recommended.
Siamo felici che vi sia piaciuto il modo in cui Valentina ha condotto il tour! Grazie mille per il vostro feedback!☺️
We were out with two groups of 15 people each and the two guides Isabel and Deborah. The participants were all thrilled! The guides were great, the tour was informative and varied, and always seasoned with a dash of humor. The coffee and the best praline in the city, which we were able to taste along the way, were also absolutely wonderful. We got to know many different faces of this fascinating city on our tour - I would love to come back next year with other groups!
