Great tour! - I don’t think I’ve ever been on such a great historical tour! Adolfina is clearly passionate about the history of the area and incredibly knowledgeable. To be honest I’m not a big tour person but all of it more than kept my interest and, if I wasn’t leaving tomorrow morning, I’d do another tour tomorrow!
