Not to be missed - Both the guide and the driver were very well informed and willing to talk about almost anything. We took different routes to and from the nuclear missile plant so were able to see much more of the country while our guide told us about what we were seeing. The plant itself was very well done and very thought provoking. It surprised me that it was built after the 2nd world war
