Deborah_D, May 2024
What is not to like walking through the town of Cortona? It is a place steeped in history with beautiful surroundings. Our tour guide Catia was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the area and her personable approach, enthusiasm and sense of humour made it easy to interact to convey this information. We learned a lot about Cortona during our tour. The one on one personal aspect of the tour was also greatly appreciated . Highly recommended.

Excellent tour of Cortona
Gary_G, Dec 2023
Catia was an amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and informative. I enjoyed the way she informed me which architecture was from the estrucan, medieval, or renaissance times. She was especially informative regarding the Saints who formed the various churches in Cortona.

Thank you so much Gary! Catia will be so happy to read your amazing review! :)
