Our tour guide, Maurizio, was fantastic! Luckily we were the only people in our group so it was like having a private tour. Maurizio expertly guided us around all the artworks we wanted to see and more, really knew his stuff. Highly recommend this tour. Superb!

Our guide was very knowledgeable as well as cheerful throughout the tour. I thoroughly enjoyed her perspective on all the art highlights that we went through. The wireless radios were a nice touch.
