Gio is energetic, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He highlighted many things on the walk which we would just have walked pass on our own without a second thought. He helped with taking photos and gave tips on best angles etc. We enjoyed our walk very much and found it very interesting. It covered lots of ground and went beyond my expectations.

The guide was very knowledgeable. I suspect that he was a history major. We went to a lot more places than mentioned in the description. He was very helpful in suggesting other ideas or helping people plan on seeing other sites they were interested in..
