5.00We had a great tour and visited some wonderful sites. Our driver, Arsen, was excellent and drove us around safely and comfortably throughout the trip. Sana, our guide, was fantastic, she spoke English very well and was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in her explanations. Together they made the experience enjoyable and seamless. I would highly recommend both of them anytime.
