Excellent, well paces and informative. Julia was our guide and was very knowledgeable and articulate. With the high temperatures, she moved at a good pace for our group and found shady spots. Learned a lot

We were late due to trains and missed our tour start time and they were so lovely and put us on another tour when they didn’t have to. But I’m sure glad they did cause we had Benedetto (I think that’s how you spell/say it) and he was so funny and so informative had a great time even though it was hot as hell!
