5.00We had an absolutely incredible day on this tour! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceptionally punctual. The highlight of our trip was definitely our guide, Van. She was amazing! Not only was she deeply knowledgeable about the rich history of all the places we visited, but she was also incredibly funny, warm, and friendly. She kept the entire group engaged and smiling throughout the day. If you are planning to book this experience, I highly recommend it, and definitely hope you get Van as your guide!
