The tour was cancelled without proper explanation just 1 hour before the start. As we had planned our short trip also around this tour, this was very annoying.

Un tour veramente ben organizzato, 3 ore che volano tra cultura ed educazione civica. Nulla di politico, retorico ma storia e simpatia di una Regione che merita questi volti e questo entusiasmo. Consigliatissimo per tutti
