Ciao! Ringrazio Giulia e la sua collega Elena...semplicemente meravigliose! Gentili, super disponibili molto interessate veramente alla "persona", ti mettono a tuo agio e ti aiutano per qualsiasi dubbio legato al viaggio. Molto preparate e simpatiche. Il tempo è volato. Tornassi indietro chiederei con loro la giornata intera. La spiegazione di una guida da veramente un senso alla visita di questi luoghi meravigliosi. Dovrebbe essere d'obbligo prendere una guida...quindi chiamate loro! Grazie per tutto ciao Giulia e ciao Elena.
