2.00The biggest challenge was that YOU are responsible for getting to and across the border and the host didn’t update us with a correct destination for the taxi nor inform us of border closures. He was, however, very approachable and we got it sorted out but after an hour delay. The tour itself was ok but not as informative as many free walking tours we ‘ve done in other locals. It was predominantly identification without the storytelling context.
