Our tour guide Oriana was fabulous and knew alot of the history which she explained everywhere we went. She was a lovely person. Im so glad we got her as our guide to these beautiful historic places.

Our guide, Oleander, was superb. very pleasant and full of information. She gave us a good history of the places we visited, accompanied us, pointing out sights we otherwise would have missed. It was a very enjoyable full day tour. The tour company was also very prompt in providing us with confirmation of pick up time and place etc. A very pleasant experience for my wife and me. Highly recommended
