5.00Our driver Francesco arrived on time to pick us up at hotel. The drive was wonderful. We we met our tour guide at Metera and she was great showing us around. We had time to have lunch before our driver picked us up to take us back to our hotel. The communication via message was perfect. I Would highly recommend this tour to anyone:
