A fascinating series of visits to some special places. Between churches tombs and abandoned monuments you will cover a lot of history. Our guide was helpful and friendly, although there were one or two bits of information he offered that were factually a bit dubious.

We had an amazing experience from start to finish! The host picked us up directly from our address, which made everything so easy and stress-free. The trip was well organized, full of interesting stops and beautiful views — we even picked Damask rose in a real rose field. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the area in a fun and personal way.

Great trip, tour guide was not pushy on time and allowed for ample enough time at each place. The tour guide made the pick up and drop off easy and was very patient.
