Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di avere come guida Ilaria. Guida eccezionale molto preparata tra storia, arte e curiosità. Persona solare ,gentile e disponibile a qualsiasi nostra richiesta o domanda ci ha fatto scoprire angoli nascosti di Treviso che da sole non avremmo mai trovato. Ci ha fatto sentire subito a nostro agio . Infine, ci ha consigliato cosa vedere dopo il tour e dove pranzare sino ad accompagnarci al ristorante. Ilaria super consigliata
