We knew very little about the area before this trip but enjoyed the group and the tour very much. The guide, Caroline(?) was very informative and was trying to make our experience as pleasant as possible. The only backdrop is that the more I learn about the area, the longer I wanted to stay.

Excellent guide Aurelio. Very knowledgeable about the history of the city. From Julius Caesar to Van Gogh. Very thankful.
