Worth every penny to take a private tour

Our Guide Tamar gave us a wonderful tour. He gave us history and showed us all the spots of all the castles that we may not of seen. Taking a private tour allowed to have personal care and attention. It is nice to have someone drive us to every spot . It allowed us to enjoy the sights without having to do all the driving and research ourselves. Worth every penny.
