4.00Great tour! The guide was enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable, which made the experience both fun and informative. We got to see so many amazing places, and the gondola ride was definitely the highlight! My only suggestion would be to improve the transition between the different parts of the tour. Since we were joining three separate tours, there were moments when we had to rush to the next meeting point, which felt a bit stressful and not well coordinated. A smoother handoff between tours would make the day more enjoyable and less hectic for participants.
Didn’t take the tour...
