Our tour was absolutely excellent from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized, and the pacing allowed us to really enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Our guide Fabio was knowledgeable, engaging, and added so many interesting details that truly brought the history and culture to life. We also appreciated the personal touches—helpful tips, great recommendations, and a warm, welcoming attitude that made the whole experience even more memorable. The sights were incredible, but it was the guide’s enthusiasm and professionalism that really made this tour stand out. Highly recommend

Highly recommend this tour! A private tour with Sylvia was worth every penny! She had photos and stories to share that brought the entire experience to life! Amazing scenery and opportunity to talk about the history and experiences of people at that time was incredible! She also offered to take pictures of our family along the way which was kind & helped us capture our memories! Thank you Sylvia!
