Great tour with a great guide. - Giovana was a great guide. Very friendly and approachable and clearly knew her stuff. The tour was informative and interesting and I feel it gave us a great overview of the art and history of the area. At the end Giovana also helped people to find restaurants etc and she escorted me to the public bus system so I could visit another place.
