9th January 2020Review ratingI was particularly impressed with the background knowledge of David Lombardi, his ability to locate grave sites identified by those on the tour and his ever present easy manner with us. I was also impressed with our driver and his never failing manoeuvring ability in sites which would have posed a driving challenge to anyone. All in all a very informative, satisfying, and enjoyable experience.
