Our guide, Garine, was outstanding!! She took us to beautiful places, Gave us time to view, take pictures, and provide a strong historical narrative. She provided very specific information that helped us get around Lugano for the remainder of our trip.

A somewhat different tour, very exciting - we saw places in Rome that we had walked past but didn't know the history or at most would never have heard of the dark history on a regular tour.

We had an amazing time on Ben’s tour. Lots of great facts and information. He was a great tour guide, really kept it interesting. Would recommend!!!

Excellent guide Delilah. We all reslly enjoyed it, including our 16 year old daughter too.

A genuinely interesting and informative guide from a likeable host.
