Excellent value for money

Clarissa the english speaking tour guide was excellent, she sorted the ticket out for my daughter, she also sorted out tickets as apparently we had only booked a guided tour and not the entry ticket!

Our guide Claudia was fantastic

We were satisfied with the organisation, with the bus service. Our guide was well-prepared, active and shared a lot of useful information. We also liked the shop at the stop during our trip. It is a good money saving solution for a one-day trip.

Wonderful experience, highly recommend

Great trip! Claudia is knowledgeable and friendly. I was worried about spending 7 hours in transit but the travel time was great for catching up on sleep and seeing the Italian countryside.
