Excellent
Very nice tour where we learned a lot. Our only complaint was that because of the heavy rain in the morning it would have been better to do the indoor activities first and the more outdoor activities like the gondola in the afternoon when they knew the weather was going to clear up! Either way we enjoyed it.

A special thanks to our tour guide, Virginia, who gave beyond exceptional information about everything in the museums down to the streets and the wells. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She really made the experience! Thank you Virginia!!!
