What an excellent tour! Thomas made us feel at ease from the beginning to the romantic staircase ending! He adds so much w his narration, which he delivers seamlessly, moving from facts to entertaining anecdotes. There were 2 weddings; we saw a bride and groom leave when we did. Such a special memory!!

Guida simpatica, ci ha accettati anche se siamo arrivati in ritardo a causa del tempo pessimo e dei molti incidenti incontrati durante il tragitto. Ringrazio soprattutto la signorina del call center della società organizzatrice che ci ha dato le indicazioni per non perdere il nostro tour. Hotel stile castello, molto bello, molto chic, da visitare. Translate this opinion into English.

Nice guide, accepted us even though we arrived late due to the terrible weather and the many accidents encountered during the journey. I especially thank the lady at the call center of the organizing company who gave us the directions to not miss our tour. Castle-style hotel, very beautiful, very chic, worth visiting.
