We had Tako as our guide and we loved it. Her bright personality made the tour a fun experience. While she asked us at every stop whether we had questions, no one really had any. She was so informative while being interesting that she already answered all of our questions. Highly recommend! Read less
The guide was very knowledgeable and the bus ride was comfortable. It was a little disorganized. The wait for other couples that split for other extra activities was a little annoying. The river boat ride was underwhelming and not worth the money in my opinion.
I had a great experience with them and they have a wealth of information about historical places. They’re also very helpful and can answer any questions you might have. I love this team; they did a job as I expected.
Great tour with a perfect guide and driver. Our guide, Kate, was so kind and we thought that she was very experienced. She answered all kind of questions and really wanted us all to have a fantastic tour. Thanks a lot!
This trip is a half-day but feels so full and complete. Smiley and engaging team treats everyone so friendly. The guide was very energic and fluent in English. I enjoyed attending this tour and would recommend to everyone.
This was a great tour, well organized - and our tour guide Tako was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly. She was good at making the group relax and connect, as much as one can in a short amount of time. She seemed to enjoy herself, and enjoy the subjects she discussed - which, in turn, makes the listener more interested as well. We got to see a lot, and got to taste some local wines and snacks (if included in your chosen package). There was enough time allocated to each location without dragging on too long. The van was comfortable, equipped with A.C., and the driving felt safe. All in all, it was a great tour, and was totally worth it!
Nice, entertaining tour with lots of information. Tako is an entertaining and very competent guide.
Excellent trip with an excellent team! Tako does whatever it takes to make your day really special and give you a memorable experience. No matter where you are or what you're doing, you're guaranteed to have a great time with them. Thank you for this exceptional morning. I hope to see you again soon!
I really enjoyed the tour! The guide was amazing and so helpful from the beginning until the end. She explained everything about all the places we visited, making the experience very interesting and cultural. I would highly recommend this tour! A big thank you to the driver as well for making the trip smooth and enjoyable.
Good trip, value for money with an excellent guide.
