I would definitely recommend this. The places we went to were fantastic, and we were just not enough places to get bored. It allowed us to see a lot, and it was a super rewarding trip. I would definitely recommend this one. Lejdon is a great guide!

Our guide Ledjon was brilliant. Very friendy and informative at every location; very flexible with timings allowing us to explore each destination for as long as suited us. The locations were stunning and packed a lot into the day with feeling rushed at all. Highly recommend!

Our tour was wonderful! Our tour guide was more than accommodating when 2 of our guests were late. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Only problem was parking which was not their fault. Arrange a taxi for drop off if you can’t walk. Complete A+ tour!!!!
