3.00The wonderful scenery, although the tour with this company was expensive as we saw others strolling through the city that were 40 euros same tour or 50 euros and included food. We found it expensive and we were not picked up at the hotel when the others were. We were appointed at 6:30 in the city center and we didn't leave until 7. Then at 2 o'clock we had to come back which is when it was best. It would have been better to leave later without having to wake up at 5:30 without being able to eat breakfast and come back so soon.
Beautiful day and well organized trip
