    Our guide was very knowledgeable and we had a very good schedule. Would have liked the maps and info PRIOR to the tour taking off. Maybe some local music to support the bus rides. More info on where our stops were and what there was there (if they only take euros or if they take cards etc)

    thought it was expensive for what we had gotten, I'm used to having the majority of the meals provided. also, very very rushed 30 minutes here or 45 there. it wasn't leasurely. too stressful. would help if orders were taken a head to speed up the process.
