A personalized visit for a photo shoot in the heart of Taranto Vecchia - I asked Giovanni of "Taranto in calessino" to take a personalized tour to take pictures in the heart of Taranto Vecchia, in the less touristy streets of the city. I was accompanied by Dr. Massimo Mangiavacchi, expert in the sciences of cultural heritage. I couldn't have hoped for anything better. I also recommend it to those who already know Taranto for the level of depth of the visit. Very useful also to those who want to return to visit the individual monuments, to have a broader look, an "image of the city" as Walter Benjamin wrote. Thank you.

Beautiful tour with Aldo, kind and prepared - Mina, my beautiful 20-year-old granddaughter who arrived from Nice for the first time in Italy and Taranto, was able to discover the wonders of the Old Town and the beauties of the Borgo thanks to Taranto in Calessino. Exciting and fun ride, very pleasant, the young super nice Aldo turned directly in French to make himself understood better and received our well-deserved compliments. Definitely an experience to repeat, next time, with other relatives and friends. Thanks to Aldo and thanks to Taranto in Calessino.

Disappointing - The meeting place was not clear. The photo showed one place and the person picking us up was at another. He did not look for us and we ended up finding him. The tour that was supposed to be an hour lasted 30 minutes. Very disappointed.
