We had a private tour with Samuel (Sam). I thought a private tour would offer a unique experience for myself and my husband. Totally worth it. Sam was amazing, personable and extremely knowledgeable without being condescending. Wish I booked him for every tour!!! Would definitely recommend Sam if you have the option.
Augestino was an excellent tour guide. Really knew his history and was very personable. What a delight

Thank you again, we hope to welcome you back on another tour soon! Kosta
