Carolina was the best guide ever. The route is fantastic with a great mix of stops and plenty of food. It’s a great experience to do early in your trip as Carolina have is great advice on where to go and what to do. She is extremely knowledgable and friendly and made the whole tour fun and relaxed. We would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to experience food and culture all in one go. Definitely worth the price tag.

With 3 visits to the museums in 24 hours, we were able to see the Egyptian museum, the cinema museum and the Antoneliana mole and the museums of the Royal Palace in 2 days at a fairly calm pace, 2 beautiful days also thanks to the weather which on February 18th allowed us to have lunch and dine al fresco in the piole of the historic centre.

Great day out.

Had been before but in winter so did not see gardens but did this time. Took a electric buggy round which was fun and enabled me to see more than I would if walking.

Such an easy way to get an overview of the city. I chose line A thru the historic district. An hour trip.

Guide was very knowledgeable and educated. I learned a lot.
