Best Tour Guide and Tour - This was the best tour from the trip my friends and I took. We had Divan as our guide and he is so passionate about history, that the passion was contagious!! He is such a great story teller, that you have no issue transporting yourself to that time period. He really is as the best tour guide we had on our 2 week Italy vacation! I’m glad we had the chance to visit the catacombs because we got to see and learn about a lot of history.
