This was a super enjoyable tour. Our guide Ela was very engaging and insightful. We were a small group of 6 and everyone was very friendly so it made the tour so much more enjoyable. The places Ela took us to were amazing and the food and drinks were great. Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.
