The initial meeting in the square was very disorganized, with four different English language tours starting at the same time (2:50 p.m. on Jan 2), but once we finally got going I was very impressed. Our guide, Lina, was excellent! Very knowledgeable and funny and engaging and she navigated our group expertly though the very crowded spaces. She also kept the information coming but without being overwhelming. Our whole family (two middle aged parents, two teen aged kids) loved this tour and especially loved this…”

If I had known how rushed it would be I would consider another tour option. I could have spent hours in the garden and we had 20 min You really need a long time to absorb these amazing places so I would try to take a morning tour and spend a lot of time afterwards”
