    Excellent, educational tour. My only criticism was that moving each night to a new hotel got tiring after awhile. Enos was an excellent guide and always looking for ways to adapt the tour to our interests.
    Ajdinis commented on this review
    Thank you for your feedback dear Paul. We're glad you enjoyed the tour and guidance. We understand moving hotels nightly can be tiring and will consider this for our future tours.
