We were treated to a plethora of interesting history facts and tales of the city, visiting buildings dating back to the Roman period through to late medieval. Angela was knowledgeable, very personable and a joy to listen to. She answered all our questions knowledgeably and with patience. The cheese sampling was interesting; I loved the sheep's cheese.

The offerings at each were fantastic and top notch. We got to meet and socialize with the other patrons as well. She took time with each person in the tour. While this is a newer tour, Dina made it feel as if she had been doing it for years. We would certainly repeat and highly recommend this tour!”
