He kindly adapted a part of the tour yo suit our needs and made great suggestions for coffee and lunch stop. All in all an amazing day. Highly recommend.

Great day. Agnes was an excellent guide. Lots of history and observations during the day. Paola (so?) was a great driver and also added to the tour with his own observations. Being picked up at our apartment only made it better! Small group and comfortable seating was also a plus.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Our guide was both friendly and knowledgable. A good day seeing the sites described in the excursion. Excellent value for money.

We were picked up promptly by our guide, James! He took his time to explain everything and was very knowledgeable! A great day, thank you.
