The benefit of having a Private tour is being able to tailor the tour to your needs. I ready had toured the city of Trieste and asked Roberta to take me to Risiera Di San Sabba. She said yes without hesitation. Once there, the director of the museum joined us. We took the bus to the museum and back into town. Then we continued to Miramare via car. Roberta was extremely knowledgeable and gave me so many facts about the castle and gardens.
Would highly recommend this tour and ask for Roberta Verona as your guide.
