Volterra, the city of alabaster
Enjoy good Tuscan living and take a walk to discover the thousand-year history of Volterra, the city best known for alabaster working in Italy. From its foundation in pre-Roman times to the Medici hegemony, discover the passage of centuries as you admire the Etruscan traces of Porta all'Arco, the Roman Theater and its belvedere, passing through the medieval heart of Piazza dei Priori. Among evocative views and picture-postcard alleys, the tour ends with a pictorial gem for the most curious visitors: the Chapel of the Cross. The tour includes external visits to the salient monuments; the only entrance inside (Chapel of the Cross) is free.

What a nice way to wander around Venice, seeing quieter and touristy areas, and finding out a bit about Venice's history. The riddles are suitable for children. It was handy to be able to start anywhere (rather than following a fixed route), and to have 2 days to access it.

It was a very nice walk. The explanations are interesting and not too long. The puzzle questions were fun. I would book an audio guide like this again at any time. I also think it's nice that it's valid for two days.

I had a lot of fun and I learned about the city and its history. The tour forced me to pay attention to details that I most times overlook. I will definitely book some other cities on my next trips!
