Interesting ride!

My friends and I went on this excursion and, on the whole, we were satisfied. You can see that the guide knows what he's talking about, but he's talking dry enough. There was also rather little time to look at some locations. Lunch was taken extra, the most basic, communal table: 3 salads, pickles, cheese, bread and water/tea/coffee, cost 2500 drams. If you want to eat denser, you'll have to pay a little more. They also gave free water on the bus. The bus is very comfortable and modern, thanks to driver Aro for the comfortable ride. And thanks to guide Ike for running the program in two languages!
