    Wonderful tour! We are used to traveling without a tour or guide, but this tour definitely made a difference. Erma was a very attentive and friendly guide, he knew a lot, which delighted us with a lot of history, and he took care of us at all times, giving us free time to enjoy on our own, which we really appreciated. Our captain drove excellently and we felt very safe throughout the trip. The lunch was very tasty! So we recommend this tour 100%!
