Elisabetta was awesome! So full of enthusiasm and knowledge, I don't think she stopped entertaining us for a single second during the very full three-hour tour. You could spend weeks in the palace and gardens and still not see it all, so having a guide to winnow out the highlights was well worth the price. You could tell she loves what she does. And her bubbly personality made the three hours fly by - but without us feeling as though we had missed anything important. Taking a private tour makes all the difference. Highly recommended!
