Great kid-friendly tour with Stefania!
We had an absolutely wonderful day with Stefania! She specifically catered the tour towards our 7 year old and 4 year old, we did about an hour on each site and had a great "highlights" view of both. Our entire family enjoyed it! I would absolutely recommend to anyone coming to the area. Stefania was very knowledgeable, warm, friendly and played fun games with our kids along the way to keep them engaged.
