our guide Luca was nice enough, but the bit at the end nobody expects felt a bit rushed honestly. On a rainy sunday. Would only really suit you if youre not fussy, ran the full 4 hours promised. Bit disappointed ngl, would only really suit you if youre not fussy, 6 stops in about 3 hours.

our guide Kemal couldnt do enough for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and last day of the trip.
