The tour was very pleasant. The 5th of us were on a private tour and were also able to do additional activities. Eg paragliting, relaxed lunch, small stops in fields. All in all, it was a very nice tour. There are opportunities for improvement in the transfer of knowledge. In itself one could have said more about the country / people / historical background or the development of the individual attractions.
