A very friendly guide, by turns entertaining and informative. He was able to personalize our tour to our own interests and kept the pace of everything relaxed but flowing. He was particularly good with the informal stories behind the official histories. Thank you Alberto.

Google translate works well for us, but I will make sure to book a English tour next time to be able to understand more haha. But the guide was amazing!
