Very well organised trip to 2 fantastic places that we couldn’t do on our own. The guides were excellent gave enough information in a nice professional way; Fillip was great and we had Anislava for the English speaking group and he was excellent. He did everything he could do to make the visit interesting and informative. The driver too was excellent in his approach to the narrow curvy roads I am glad we took this trip
