We had an extraordinary tour today with our guide, Caroline. The sights were spectacular! The trip was very well planned and she adjusted to my husband’s slower walk. She provided interesting, historical, informative, and entertaining facts as we traveled to each site. The tour was well paced and she was very helpful, genuine and accommodating all day. We will definitely use this tour company again as they are reputable, reliable and care about their clients. Caroline was very educated, kind, and it was a great time.
