Katherine and Federica were an excellent tour guide. It was just the my grandma and I, the transportation was a leather seat van, very comfortable. Katherine was very attentive and patient, informative and professional. I highly recommend this tour if you don’t like a big group of people in your tour.

This trip was beyond my expectation. Antuanett was an excelent tour guide. It was only 3 of us, we had extremely friendly atmosphere, Assissi and Orvietto was stunning. We also enjoyed a nice lunch with umbria wine and truffles as well stopped for fenomenal wine testing. I would absolutely recommend this tour

seule critique un bug au moment de la réservation internet avec GYG , le voucher comptait 1 personne au lieu de 2 pour le même prix 496e indiqué sur la plateforme GYG ! Et le nom avait changé... Sueurs froides ! Il a fallu annuler la première réservation grâce à intervention efficace de GYG la correspondante en France; tout cet ajustement a pris 2 heures de temps . Mais tout est bien qui finit bien et nous ne garderons que le bon souvenir de nos trois accompagnateurs avec une mention spéciale à Ganpiero l'archéologue érudit et affable qui nous a expliqué Assise.
