our guide Ingrid couldnt do enough for us and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the tour we did in porto last year, and perfect for first-timers, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.

our guide Luca was brilliant and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and honestly better than the tour we did in Rome last year.
