our guide Jonas really knew their stuff and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and ran the full 4 hours promised.

our guide Dmitri sorted everything for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight ... Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Spot on for a couples day out, and came away with 200+ photos, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.

our guide Joseph really knew their stuff and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and ran the full 4 hours promised.

our guide Hassan was nice enough, but a stop the guide added on the fly felt a bit rushed honestly. Did it on our first morning. For our anniversary. Bit disappointed ngl, over easter break, tbh
