Great tour, could have done without the politics

4.00The tour guide was very knowledgeable and energetic and moved the tour along. I feel like I learned a lot and really enjoy the morning. My only concern was that she wore a political pin about a subject that is very controversial and not an internal Italian matter. Certainly it would alienate some portion of the tour and because she wore it as a pin, everyone had no choice but to see it and read it over and over again every time we looked at her. To be clear, I would have been just as uncomfortable if she had a worn a pin for the "other" side and made a different group of people unwelcome. I just would strongly prefer that during work hours only with a mixed group that of course will have many opinions, that very controversial political issues are not advertised on the tour guide. I assume since she was wearing the pin on her ID holder that this is allowed or encouraged by the company, so for me, since I would like to have a more relaxing vacation away from all this for just a few days, personally I will not use this company again.
