3.00Our guide Deph is good so as Tony and Hector no doubt. They all approachable, friendly and knows the history. Only problem is I wish all the history was discussed during the drive going to the place and let the tourist explore the places on their own so we can definitely say 5 star instead of them talking on our way to the tour. In addition most of the information can be googled. Tourist pay so much and wanted to maximize the stay and see the important spots/ places to see and make some memories. We were not able to go on top to the cross to see the view because it’s 20 min each walk going up and down and time was used talking about the history and we are just like grade schoolers following the guide which is really unfair. They should all consider the rest room used, buying from gift shop, the crowd etc. I’m not sure if this is the expectation of the company from the tour guide if it’s not, then maybe this could be a lesson learned from them reading this. This is once in a life time experience to most of us, please put your self in our situation. No responsible adult wanted to be stuck in a group talking about history if the time is very limited, we want to explore and again make some memories.

4.00This was a good tour and we loved our guide Delph! She was very knowledgeable about both the monastery and the winery. There was much food for lunch so I wish I had brought a snack and the monastery was so interesting I wish we had more time there
