Chiara was a delightful guide. We shared with her some of my husband’s limitations and she always made sure he was comfortable. Even though I was the primary person who wanted the tour, she included him in everything. We were both delighted and engaged by her knowledge and outgoing personality. I truly appreciated that she chose locally owned businesses that have been in business for decades. Every shop on the tour was friendly and accommodating of our old backs and knees! I would take this tour again in a heartbeat!
