Siamo venuti a Taranto per la prima volta e poco sapevamo della città, abbiamo scelto di farci guidare alla scoperta della parte vecchia di Taranto. La nostra guida Morris, simpatico e preparato, ci ha fatto scoprire i punti più importanti del passato collegandoli al presente. La città e' stata una vera scoperta. Prenotazione semplicissima e serietà degli operatori.

Abbiamo apprezzato la guida Caterina: disponibile e competente.
Non abbiamo avuto difficoltà a prenotare sul portale e in maniera agevole abbiamo pagato on line. Inoltre siamo stati contattati anche tramite WhatsApp per organizzare il giro.
Un'esperienza da consigliare e da rifare.

Visita interessante, peccato che in 2 ore si vede solo una parte di quello che la città può offrire. Dovremo tornarci
