Excellent Tour - We were fortunate to have Bruno as our Guide, he was most pleasant, knowledgeable and enthusiastic 👏, ( he also spoke very good English ).
If you are interested in the history of this fascinating City , through its battles, I recommend this Tour.
We visited Museums, discussed the Civil War , ( and visited the underground shelters ). Bruno pointed out many buildings , sculptures and places of interest as we walked the City ,( it’s easy to explore as not huge ).
Thank you Bruno 👍🏻
