Our guide was Francesca...

Brenda_F, Apr 2026

Our guide was Francesca and she was very knowledgeable and a very nice and sweet person. She knew owners of various restaurants and the owners gave us samples. It was a very detailed tour and we learned so much history.

Clair The Fair

Jane_K, Oct 2023

Clair was an excellent tour guide! Armed with her deep knowledge of art, she delivered a wonderful appreciation for every painting and artifact now confined to the underworld! She helped us see every item and hear every story as if we were present for their use centuries ago. Well done, Clair!
