Elba has a fabulous guide who provided a great experience.

The guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. It was the best tour on our cruise. We learned a lot about the area and its very colorful history beyond Napolean's time there and his escape.

Interesting Portoferraio tour

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The guide Marica was personable & the tour started on time. My husband was having knee issues, so we gad to go a little slower. Marica was very accommodating & kept this in mind. The details she gave brought the sites to life. Reserving & paying via Viator was very convenient.

Amazing Tour!

This was one of our favorite activities while staying on Elba. We learned so much from Marica and considered this experience completely invaluable. Within a few minutes, Marica was able to pick up on our interest in history, and catered the tour to that interest. She took us inside the old fortress, taught us about so many different periods of history, and was kind and warm the entire time. Marica gracefully answered our endless questions and sparked so much curiosity and discussion for later on. Her expert knowledge, desire to teach, and warmth make Marica a really lovely tour guide-Highly recommend talking a walk around town with her!
