    Great trip! Steve is an outstanding Guide/Driver!

    The tour itself was spectacular. Our guide, Steve, was A++. His love of his country and his job was obvious. All the accommodations were very nice. The description of the tour as suitable for ages 5-99 is misleading, though. To thoroughly take advantage of all that is offered, be prepared to walk a LOT, to climb stairs a LOT, and to walk up steep slopes a LOT. For the price of the tour, I think more admission fees should be included as well as a dinner or two.
