The guide Daniela is very knowledgeable and passes on all the information in a calm and relaxed manner. She is always attentive and respects everyone's particularities. She cares about everyone's well-being, whether they are children or the elderly. The tour was exceptional, the beauty of nature and the buildings, but it was the guide Daniela who made all the difference. Score 10 for this guide.
