We were picked up from our hotel at our time of choice around 9.45 by Askhat. Returned at 7.00. Ashkat modified the itinerary at our request so as not to double up on things we were already doing the next day Comfortable sedan car- they hire the car depending on how many passengers. The driver who owned this business was also the guide- a lovely young man with excellent English. ( His main business is mountaineering/ hiking/ horse riding trips in the mountains).He paid for our lunch, to celebrate us being his 1st Viator clients! He provided lots of information about his family history, local history, economy and politics. We loved our day with him. Jane
