Great tour, small group. - We were really happy when we got to the meeting point and realized that our group was a party of four! That was amazing, cause we got to interact with our guide the whole time, ask questions, etc. Greta was our guide and she was absolutely great. She has a lot of knowledge, is super friendly and speaks very good English. Would love to have other tours with her.
