Customer Reviews
Beautiful part of the world. Had a great time seeing it and meeting delightful fellow travelers. Learned a great deal about the history of this area.
We were rushed constantly. We had a terrible guy who did not really know the area who would always tell us. We have 45 minutes to grab some lunch or an hour to get Little lunch and we have elderly on the bus and they could barely walk we weren’t allowed to shop went to a place where there was a cute little shot, but we were told no shopping. We also were told no shopping at the other museum too. This was the worst trip I have ever been on.
The itinerary was rushed. I realized we covered a lot of ground but stopping for one hour for lunch and expecting older people to walk to restaurants and find lunch within one hour is ridiculous.
Since I have been doing these tours since the 1980,s , I believe that I have a pretty good opinion of what can be done to make a trip more enjoyable . Move at a slower pace . If it means a couple of days more , all the better .
Need a little more direction when have lunch we need to organise.
