    Unbeatable

    We made the visit with Alfonso and we loved it. More than we imagined. Alfonso is an exceptional person who has told us everything in an incredible way. He's managed to teleport us to every moment of history. Great!!

    Definitely worth visiting, but our guide didn't arrive.

    The guide didn't turn up. When we rang they said they hadn't our booking. However, they did manage to arrange a refund !

    LACK OF SERIOUSNESS

    They canceled close to the event with an excuse without offering support or alternatives and leaving us without a ticket. Look for other tour operators, even locally or purchase on the official website.
