“Our tour was amazing! We were fortunate to have the highly recommended guide called Francesco, he really brought the experience to life and kept it light hearted, entertaining, and fun! We were presently suprised when we were fortunate enough to have a private tour by happenstance and if we hadn't already booked the group tour the private tour would have been just as fun and well worth the cost, we were just really lucky!! I couldn't recommend it enough and hopefully whoever reads this takes the plunge and gets themselves a ticket!! Thankyou so much Francesco for such a memorable night!!Read more”
