I just travelled on the 5th of December 2024. Traveller from Malaysia. Michael was our guide! I have travelled many times with a guide but he is by far the best. Very knowledgeable and hilarious. I love history at the same time so he was able to really give me and my wife a full and fun experience and tour! I had a great time, I am definitely recommending anyone who wants to go on a tour to choose Michael and you won't regret it.
