Customer Reviews
Unfortunately we did not make our tour due to my wife's unexpected illness that occurred. We did notify email our cancelation. I was very disappointed that no refund or credit wasn't given for something that was out of our control. We as customers spent a week of tours with your company and would have appreciated some form of reimbursement.
10/2025. Went on the tour loved every minute. Marius was our tour guide. He very knowledgeable and personable. He made the day. You have a lot of free time in both areas. Highly recommend this tour.
Long day but worth it for everything you get to see! Marius was a wonderful guide and shared tons of great information, both about what to expect on the tour and the history of the area
