A+ Experience. Benedetta was delightful!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-hour tour with Benedetta and two other couples, one from Australia, the other from Germany. Benedetta was delightful. Lots of energy and enthusiasm came through, and she kept the promise of sharing fascinating facts about Verona's storied history. The pace was perfect, the conversation flowed, and all of us had a wonderful experience. This was one of our favorite tours during our 3-week northern Italy adventure. Benedetta is a gem!
