5.00We loved our guide Simona. She spoke great English and guided us through the different stops as though she was a friend showing us round. She felt like one of us. We loved how she did introductions in the beginning which allowed us to bond with other members of our group. We were fortunate to have great weather as well. The food was really good and exactly as described in the 3 Fs!! Thank you Simona
