Extremely enriching day. I was able to discover timeless places, magnificent places! In addition, I thank Steven, our guide, who was particularly patient because I did not arrive at the meeting place on time (I got lost 🤣) fortunately he was able to guide me by WhatsApp in order to be on time for departure! I highly recommend it!

The tour guide John arranged the itinerary reasonably, was knowledgeable, and responsible. We contacted one day in advance to confirm the meeting time and location, which made us feel safe. During the itinerary, each attraction will explain the historical background and celebrity anecdotes in detail, which made our trip worthwhile!
