What we particularly appreciate about this tour is its focus on personalized attention—a rare feature in busy group excursions—and the chance to explore major highlights without feeling rushed. Plus, the inclusion of a hotel pickup and drop-off means you won’t need to worry about navigating public transport, which can be complicated in a city full of winding cobblestone streets.
