Marco our guide was very friendly, convivial and competent. Thanks to him we have visited numerous monuments and sites and received plenty of explanations very detailed. I should perhaps point out that my wive and myself are French speaking Belgian people and we could easily understand him in English. It was remarkable that we were rather numerous (at least 20 persons) and after the trip of more than two hours he could still call everybody with his forename. We have spent a very pleasant moment during that trip. Jean-Marie Schmitz
