A Great Walk Around the Old City of Vieste - Rosaría was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. She walked us around the old city of Vieste pointing out the sites and sharing the history of Vieste with us.

Simply the Best! - This tour made me fall in love with Vieste, … the rich history , the stunning beauty! Endrio was - hands down - one of the most knowledgeable, most experienced, most passionate tour guides we’ve ever met. I will remember Vieste and this tour as a highlight of our three months in Italy!

Great tour of a really interesting town! - Our tour guide Angela was a delight. She knew a LOT about to town and its history. I came to Vieste because it was where my grandfather was born and she even helped me ask some folks about the extended family still in the area. She provided a great tour!

Weekend in Vieste. - We stayed in this city on Saturday, October 22 with a group of friends on motorcycles. I had been to this city in 1979 and found it fully valued. Beautiful cathedral and castle. Beautiful alleys and streets that characterize the ancient part of the city as well as the beach of Pizzomunno. We will definitely be back, worth it.

Not if you need a tour in English - Angela was very nice and pleasant to spend the morning with walking around the old city. She had some interesting insights on the history of Vieste. However, her command of English was rudimentary so it was difficult to understand and communicate with her. While she is very nice, and did her best, I don’t think she should advertise giving tours in English. If I didn’t have an understanding of some very basic Italian, I wouldn’t have understood a lot of what she was trying to communicate.
