5.00Stunning views, history of it, politics background & not to skip a physical challenge of walking up & down. In all, it was very memorable time to visit The Republic of San Marino. Sara was great in presenting all aspects of history, religion, architecture & politics. Note: have a good tracking solely sneakers, knees compression bands might be helpful for going down the passages and hidden steps... Thank you, from USA SC
Great introduction to San Marino

5.00Alessia was very nice and showed us all the important places to learn about San Marino history. She explained the historical points and history the culture. The historical center is small so this is a short walking tour.
Enjoyable Walking Tour with Excellent Guide!

5.00I very much enjoyed my walking tour of San Marino! Sara was an excellent guide and shared San Marino’s history with me. She was quite knowledgeable and was willing to answer all my questions. We walked around the historical center on San Marino and then up to Tower #1. Sara made suggestions for things to visit after the tour and I enjoyed all of those. This tour is a great introduction to San Marino!
I'd take this tour AGAIN

5.00I loved our guide. Just my mom and I with her. She went slow, answered questions and really showed us all the best parts of the city. If anything I just wish there was an even longer option. Sarah was amazing confirming prior and giving us a great tour.
