Tour organizzato in maniera perfetta. Puntualità dell’autista e spiegazioni precise dei luoghi visitati. Massima flessibilità nella gestione delle varie visite alle città. Lo consiglio nel caso in cui aveste bisogno di un tour privato.

Our driver was Richard, who was passionate and knowledgeable about the areas which we visited. We stopped for places to take photographs, visited cathedrals and had time on our own to take in Ragusa.
