Fantastic tour with a boring guide
The itinerary and time allocation was perfect. Spots were all fantastic especially in a five hours tour. Well organised! The guide was informative but without passions. He gave us a feeling that he was reading some leaflets in a flat tune. You can’t imagine nearly all the participants fell into sleep. A passionate guide would surely make a big difference. At the end, no laugh, no clapping hands.

Some great places to see- spectacular! Only downside- just not long enough to explore them! Guide was very informative.
