One of the best points about this was that Mauro, the guide, was completely flexible about the itinerary - he was in contact with us beforehand to agree an outline itinerary and too us took us where we wanted to go; he could not have been more helpful. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. There was also a driver as part of the package, and I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of this sort of tour that you do not go with just a single guide who is also the driver. The driver we had was very good in that he would drop us at the entrance to the various sites and then he and the guide would liaise as to pick up on completion at the various sites - this worked very well and saved a lot of time wasted in waiting around. They have worked together many times, and it showed; they made a very good team. It also meant that we could leave some items in the car as he was with them at all times.
Mauro was extremely enthusiastic about his work - which really showed, and enriched the experience - and also had the valuable asset of making you feel as if you were in the driving seat with regard to pace of things. We never felt hurried or were left in any spot for too long. We learned a lot about the city as well as the various attractions we saw. I would unreservedly recommend Mauro and this particular tour to anyone. There was nothing in the tour that we did which we felt could have been left out, and in fact he made a couple of suggestions on the day which were included.
