“Gems and depth of history - Frank had a depth of knowledge of history that tied past to current together in a seamless story. We saw a portion of an old Roman wall, delicious cookies made at a covenant and a dozen other gems we would have walked right by. He had great energy, enthusiasm and pace. We are thankful for the chance to experience Palma in this way.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-29
