We really enjoyed the one on one tour with vladamir. This tour was very comfortable and was easy to adjust to our needs. We changed our plans and needed to get to the airport earlier and our tour was easily moved earlier in the day to accommodate us. We were also able to adjust some of the activities in order to be flexible for our return time. Having a personal tour vs a group tour was ideal for us, we gained a lot of information and were able to ask many questions along the way.
