    "I gave it three stars because I booked the tour without an Italian-speaking guide. As a result, I couldn't get any explanations in my native language, and had to make do with a few words in English and a few in Spanish. Otherwise, everything went according to plan. The guide was also excellent, as was the captain's attention to those with mild mobility issues. Thank you for this experience!"Bruno · September 2025
