My uni tour was led by Joe, it was a good experience getting to know the lesser known facts, fun stories and history of the various places we visited as part of the tour. I would suggest everyone to go for a guided tour around the city by a student who will have such detailed information of the places and give you a sneak peek of the student life.

Trip is well run and organized! Of course if weather is better, the whole trip will be very pleasant. We walked around the town and learned the history and main streets for sightseeing.

It was an amazing experience, best money I spent. The guide was so nice and explained perfectly everything. It was a 5 starts experience, I will repeat with all my friends and family.

Sasha (our guide) and Laurence (our driver) were both superb. The kindest and most helpful.

Great tour from Francesco ,knowledgeable & entertaining.
