TOUR THEME AND WHO IT IS FOR ‼️⚠️
The tour is focused on history and architecture, aimed at anyone who truly enjoys history, architecture, and art history. *
My tour is geared toward a specific audience interested in the topics mentioned above, to avoid any problems or inconveniences.
It is not suitable for children under 12 years old since the type of route makes them tend to get desperate very easily.
* Note:
There is only an exterior visit to the monuments and we do not enter the ruins.
