It was a wonderful experience and our guide was very informative. We were late traveling up from Rome. They were very hopeful in guiding us. We learned our lesson if you're coming to a CC driving is a challenge.

Giovanni was the best guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and was patient and kind, took his time to really explain in detail everything we were seeing. It made all the difference in our ability to understand the rich history and paintings of the different periods. We had an AMAZING time with Giovanni. Grazie!
