romanh3, October 2026
We really enjoyed this tour and suggest to book all tickets including with lunch, really worth it to visit so many interesting places.
They picked us up from hotel as agreed in time.
Guide Sayed made it nice, was easy going and told not only historical facts but many jokes on the way, thus made the road not long and fund. In the middle of tour was tasty lunch and get back home with plenty of photos and memories.
