It was a great day out. Gustavo gave us lots of information and kept the pace slow enough for an old man like me. Very much enjoyed the three venues and had an excellent lunch.

Paolo was an incredible guide. He didn’t overwhelm with information, he instead was thoughtful about what he shared. He made sure to link stories throughout the day, which I thought was really cool. We were comfortable, had more than enough time to explore, and he had given suggestions for trips we might take later on our visit! Our day was a delight- thank you so much!
