5.00The tour was very well organized. The guide shared all the necessary information one day before the tour. Sari Salltik was definitely the highlight.

2.00Was told I would get hotel pick up…did not. Was told I would get complementary access to two museums…was not. Guide was OK, but telling the group to arrive “anytime between 2.30-3.00 means a lot of waiting…
