Nen and her driver were a tier above other Viator tours. They were attentive to our needs and made specific provisions for a very informative and enjoyable travel experience. The choice of sites were more local and less crowded (overwhelmed) with other tourists. We had a thoroughly good day, they went above and beyond in my opinion.
This tour was extraordinary, first of all by all the places visited, but also thanks in large part to our guide Bella. We do not hesitate to recommend the tour and ask for this guide.
