4.00If you visit Trieste, this tour is a must. Sonia was very informative. In 2 1/2 hours we toured some of the new city and the old city. She brought us to some amazing sites while providing an interesting history of the city. I highly recommend Sonia as your guide for an enjoyable tour around Trieste!

4.00(Written by Jill) Reasonably good city tour. The guide we were assigned was not the guide named frequently in this tour’s 5 star reviews. This guide was quite knowledgeable but not the most engaging communicator. The sites were quite varied and spanned many centuries of history.
Sonia was wonderful!...
