Our Local Guides
Our local guides are personally selected for their deep knowledge, passion and ability to bring to life the places we visit through the stories they tell and the historical facts they recount.
They will share with us the reality of daily life as well as the historical or artistic significance of the location.
As a small group (maximum of 10) we’ll enjoy the advantage of being able to jump queues and gain priority access to museums and archaeological sites.
