Three places in one day was quite a lot to fit in and we were delayed getting back by a few hours, but it was a fantastic experience nonetheless.

Lovely day, our guide Adrian was absolutely marvelous and knows so much about his town and country. He keeps everyone engaged too with his storytelling as well, which is really refreshing. Other tours I’ve been on, guides aren’t as expressive or interesting or speak in monotone. Adrian, the complete opposite. Bravo!
