Why choose this tour? Our guides!
We select only local guides that passed the exam before 2013 when the Italian law imposed guides to follow a course and pass an exam for their own city.
After 2013, any guide that passed any exam in the EU can work across the continent, with a huge loss of quality.
With us, you are sure to have a local guide with guaranteed knowledge of her/his city.
The best guides cost more but give back much more value for your money. Maybe our tour is not the cheapest out there, but remember that you always get what you pay for, with our tour you are guaranteed to have a top-quality guide who has vast experience and knowledge of local art and history.
