Excellent ride!! - Excellent walk, all planned in advance, Hugo guide has a lot of knowledge and a lot of patience so you have a walk with good information and good photos. Being from the area you know the best times to visit the tourist areas. They could skip taking you to the shops that are not liked by everyone, but I understand that all package tours include it as part of their services.

Amazing ancient ruins - It was a busy long day with much information and interesting sites. It was 102 degrees F (end of June) so lots of water was needed. Tour guide, Doris, provided water for us.

Unforgettable walk!!!! - The place is beautiful, an amazing city you feel like you are in bygone eras. Of the most interesting places I have visited, the beautiful landscape, the house of Mary is a Magical place. We were very happy with our guide Gufte, very professional and attentive to our questions and requests. It was also an unforgettable trip as we were on a private tour which allowed us to visit very special places where they make carpets and premium leather goods. We had a delicious meal!!! I highly recommend this unforgettable experience. Very grateful !!!!
