This was like reading a good book.

Stuart was awesome tacular guide, as he delved into histories of the inquisitions, regal intrigue, and even Ponzi schemes. He relished telling the stories with an aside of humor, and as someone who is reasonably well read about medieval history, I was pleasantly surprised to learn so many little tidbits I had overlooked in my own readings. Highly recommend.

Love this tour! Our guide...

Guide was a no show

The guide never showed up, and he did not respond when I messaged through the viator app. If you book this, have a back up plan!
