Great experience. Alot of information and monuments. Awesome to see so much about the Roman's. The children 9 and 10 got a little bored because well it's history.

Nice tour about town that hits the high spots but nothing special. Guide would say we have 10 minutes at a site then told us it was time to leave after 5 minutes. Not nice.

Booked a history tour in Eng. Driver very nice and really tried but wasn’t really an English speaker. Drove & pointed and tried but with a broken microphone and language barriers I grew frustrated and ended early. There was no history learned aside from reading plaques along the way. We were both sad. Don’t recommend for English speakers.

We had a fun, friendly driver who took us all over. Really loved the stops we made especially the church that dated back to the crusades.

I booked this tour the morning of. Received confirmation and a ticket. No one showed up to provide the tour. I called and there was no answer. The operator called later to say it was canceled.
