Nice, and knowledgeable tour guide
Our tour guide shared so many fascinating stories about history and prophecies. He was incredibly friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable, and we learned so much from him. The hotel was also wonderful and very comfortable, and the itinerary was full of interesting places and activities. Most importantly, I got to see Highland cows! 🐂❤️
