Paola welcomed us at the agreed meeting point and dedicated plenty of time and attention to every detail along the route. She was incredibly warm, friendly, and cheerful in her communication. We had a fantastic experience and learned so much about the place, the historical context of the city, and local traditions. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who doesn’t have much time for independent exploration—this is the best way to get to know the city and its people!
