    It was the deliciously chill yet exuberant and enlightening day I needed. My guide was Antonio “TONY” Brãs. Smart, knowledgeable and very friendly. Just right for this trip. Thankfully not one of those loud and brash guides. He gave us free time, but kept us in schedule. Lunch was DELICIOUS. Grilled fish with veggies and white wine. The drive was smooth. I could have done a longer tour with my group. We had drinks afterwards. It was sooo nice.

    A very successful tour. The guide is rich in knowledge. The route is well built although the time spent in the cathedral can be shortened. The food was excellent. The schedule is accurate. The driver is careful and the bus is comfortable. Thanks to the organizing team and the wonderful guide
