It’s really difficult to describe how amazing this day trip was! Michael is just phenomenal! He’s professional, a polyglot, and most importantly equipped with a great sense of humor! I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. The bus was comfortable and the driver navigated the narrow streets with ease. The only knock I have is that I was left wanting more! Overall, great job done by the Gray Tours team!
