Very nice tour and lots of info as promised. We too had a small group, which allowed my daughter to stop and purchase some street art as we heard more about the surrounding buildings. No down time. You get your moneys worth. I definitely recommend this walking toward for those of you without bad knees.

I had a wonderful experience...

Sanford M, Feb 2017

I had a wonderful experience although perhaps unusual. When I arrived on a Monday afternoon at 3pm in February, I was the only tour-goer. Tour guide Carlo was non-plussed and gave me a very personal and comprehensive tour. Being a native to the area, his love shone through on every detail. He also seemed to thrive on questions, while admitting when he needed to do more research. I found his honesty and enthusiasm fantastic. I definitely recommend this tour
