Amazing Tour with Anna
I went on the tour with 3 other family members and we had a great time! It’s basically an all day trip, but there’s so much to see. Our tour guide Anna was great, she was very nice and kept the trip interesting. We got enough time at every stop to be able to look around on our own after each guided part as well.
