Our guide Tiziana was absolutely wonderful. Informative Intelligent Friendly Flexible. The personal touch when doing the mine tour was worth the extra dollars The other tour groups were being around in groups of 20 or 30. She dropped us at the bus stop at the end of the day snd messsged us to see if we had made it home ( as buses are rare in Iglesias) A highly recommended guide and tour
