It was okay. You see the sights...

<p>It was okay. You see the sights along with all the other tourists. There's a line for EVERYTHING. Lunch was provided and snack were provided but BEVERAGES were NOT provided so yeah, they get you here. </p> <p>i recommend paying a bit more and go with a company that did less touristy stuff which is what my friends did. This tour took us through shops, stores, villages with stores, restaurants that sold honey, fruit, candy, and wine. I felt like I was trapped in one of those Timeshare tours.</p>
