This is an amazing opportunity to discover one of the most stunning and scenic places on the planet, and an ideal way to spend a couple of hours. With your tour guide on hand, you’ll see so much beauty - and be able to spot George Clooney’s villa along with other celebrity homes and some film sets too!
