5.00This was an unforgettable tour experience, I can tell you that. First of all, it’s a very efficient way to get some major sightseeing out of the way. A very comfortable air-conditioned van picked us up from our hotel, including a mini-fridge with bottles of water for us. We walked into all the sights without any waiting and there was ample time to enjoy them and take some photos. No hustle and no fuss. Did I understand everything that was being said by our guide in English? Absolutely not. Was she one of the most unique characters that I have ever ran into during my travels around the world, making this experience even more memorable. 100%. I’m not a devoted history buff that wants a detailed lecture for each stop of the tour. You can get all the history you need online now. Traveling is about meeting people that you would never come across in your everyday life. This was certainly such an experience and I’m glad I booked it.
Great introduction to history and culture
