Great tour. Worth every penny. It was a small group and our tour guide Francesc was extremely knowledgeable. He provided us with small details about structures that we would have never known. Just wonderful!!!

It is 2 tours in one day. Our morning was a small group of 12 and just the right size. Our guide, Giovanna Calore, was outstanding! The best ever! Full of energy, knowledge and personality! There is a great deal of walking, hills and steep stairs…but well worth it! The afternoon was a much larger group however our guide managed it well. Again, knowledgeable and easy to understand. Not strenuous and easily walked. Both are 10 out of 10.
