Penny was exceptional. Very knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. Definitely recommend this tour!!!
Stranded in a foreign country does not appeal to me. Our very 1st stop miles from town we saw our bus pull away without us. Seriously 10 people on a bus and you leave without 2! After 45 minutes sitting on a rock in high winds they came back for us not bc they noticed but bc some nice man called someone and told them. As we went thru town we were not allowed to stop and shop hardly any.
The guide, George is very knowledgeable, the tour very thorough. Half the tour is walking and half will be walking..
