5.00We were absolutely thrilled with our tour! The team arrived right on time, and our guide, Max, was fantastic. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and a very safe driver who clearly knew his way around. Max was remarkably knowledgeable, giving us a great historical background of all the places we visited and easily answering all of our questions. He was also highly flexible with us throughout the day and gave us excellent local restaurant recommendations for where to eat. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish!
