Be careful - large group - Excellent tour although the group was much larger than I had expected- 25! I can’t remember the guide’s name- she didn’t introduce herself at the beginning. She was very knowledgeable and imparted a lot of knowledge. The cannoli treat at the end of the tour was badly managed - trying to organise 25 people was chaotic.

Brisk 3 Hour Tour - It was a good 3 hour tour. We saw and walked by many historical sites. The female tour guide was very knowledgeable ... sometimes giving too much info - droaning on for 10+ minutes. She walked ar her own brisk pace and really didn't check on the speed of the tour participants. Overall, pretty good. Luckily, we had great weather to walk in.

Would not do again - The tour leader spent too much time in one place. She told a little too much history as people were getting tired standing in one place. We could have seen so much more had she just moved on after hitting the highlights. Her English was very good.

Disappointed in the customer service - I will preface this review by fully admitting that I got the start time wrong and that’s on me. We were on a cruise ship and I realized at 8:53am that our tour was at 9:00am and not 9:45am. We scrambled off and paid extra for a taxi to get us to the meeting place, which is a good 15 minute drive from the port. On the way I texted a message to the tour operator stating our situation. I was not expecting at all that the tour guide would wait for us. When we got there we immediately started walking the itinerary to try to find our group. I texted the operator twice more letting them know where we were and what time it was, hoping they could give us directions to our tour group. Radio silence from them for at least 45 minutes (from the first message in the taxi). When we finally got a reply they said there was nothing they could do since we were the ones who were late. We walked to the fourth stop, fairly certain we were there around the time the group would be getting there based on the itinerary times. I called their Italian office trying to get in contact with the tour guide. They only told me her name was Mariana and they had no way to reach her. We called out Mariana’s name in the crowded street and even went up to 4-5 tour guides who weee speaking English. Our tour ended up being self guided and information was courtesy of Wikipedia. We paid entrance fees already included in our tour. We ended up having a good time on our own and even visited places not on the tour. The reason for the poor review is that we were very disappointed that the tour operator could not help us at all. We requested a partial refund but it was denied. So if you book this tour beware that you are on your own if you are late or can’t find your tour guide.
