Our guide was very knowledgeable, interesting, and friendly. He had a magical soft voice that made all the mystic places we saw come to life. Great Tour and great tour company! We were very impressed with this tour, in general, and hope to return one day! We would use this guided tour again and highly recommend them.

We had the best time with our tour guide on our tour. She has great energy and pointed out highlights big and small so we really felt like we didn't miss a thing. She always gave us the chance to ask questions, stop to take photos, use the restrooms and she just really ensured that we had a good time. Thank you so much!!!

Our guide was the best guide! She was enthusiastic, gave us all the details and information perfectly. She was patient, kind and has the best spot for the perfect photos, it was like also going with a personal photographer. We loved her and everything, she thought us! It was a pleasure!
