Brilliant guide throughout. Sandra was very lively and made sure to give us enough information about all the places we visited. We experienced a bit of everything and were transported back in history with every step into Medina. Amazing day, would definitely recommend to others and will surely do it again should we return.

Very cozy and well organized. There is no rush anywhere and you have some time to wonder freely in locations. Lunch was very nice, but not amazing. Overall this is a very good overview tour.
