          Wonderful experience of columbo
          We had a wonderful tour of the sights of Columbo. The guide was well spoken in English with background knowledge of the sights. Our itinerary was flexible with extra time to see the sights we wanted. We had a wonderful experience, especially as we had travelled from the UK.
