Sabrina – United States

Had a wonderful time on this tour. Charles was knowledgeable, entertaining, and kept the tour on a tight schedule, while making sure that we made the best of our time. He systematically briefed us about what was coming ahead and the things to look out for, even beyond the historical aspect of the tour (cosmetics). Charles takes his role as a guide very seriously. His tour is well rehearsed and the fruit of many years of listening to his clients and implementing their feedback. One of the best tours I have ever been on!
