I met my guide at the entrance to the Roal Palace. It turned out I was her only customer so we had a wonderful time one-to-one. Thru her really good explanations and pointing out specific historically significant items, I now better understand the Savoy family. Owing to her colorful explanations, the time was not noticed how quickly it went. She did an excellent pace and kept it quite interesting. She should be well complimented for her professional knowledge and interesting methods of presenting.

Carolina was the best guide ever. The route is fantastic with a great mix of stops and plenty of food. It’s a great experience to do early in your trip as Carolina have is great advice on where to go and what to do. She is extremely knowledgable and friendly and made the whole tour fun and relaxed. We would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to experience food and culture all in one go. Definitely worth the price tag.
