“The Best is TRUE! - I have been on many tours in many countries over my 50 years of travel experiences, starting at age 16. This tour was, by far, the BEST tour I have ever experienced. The sites were varied, the information presented was very interesting and my tour guide was exceptional. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who would prefer an ‘informative stroll through history with an old friend’ style tour rather than the ‘Get there, Let’s move on’ (cattle-herding style) average tour.” - Reviewed on 2023-10-19
