Treat yourself with a local professional and go!
Our guide was exceptional. He was a wealth of information, super nice. polite and everything you would want in a guide. It was a great treat to get picked up at our hotel, have a professional with us for the day, be driven around with an expert, tickets purchased for us, parking done, great lunch spot etc. He took scenic routes through the countryside and really maximized our time by showing us so much.
