Running our Grand Tour for 12+ years we have gained enough practical experience and knowledge of how to do it and how to turn a very intensive program in a smooth and pleasant experience. A great deal of thought and practical experience has been incorporated into this itinerary!

– Tony and Joyce,
May 2016, Celebrity Eclipse

"What an amazing experience! We had heard all about the magnificent palaces and churches etc beforehand but to see them in real life was exhilarating despite the crowds and the full on schedule. This experience was brought to light by the tour guide whose knowledge of the city and its history was breathtaking. Her experience also made it easier for us in that she always had us at site just at the right time to avoid the queues and was able to guide us throughout the buildings expertly even although they were very busy. Alla Tours made the two days special for us."
