Thought it was going to be all in English the tour guide would speak in English first (little difficult to understand ) and then repeat the same in another language, which took a lot of time standing around waiting. Enjoyed the areas toured.

The tour was fabulous. We had a delightful young lady as our tour guide. She was very informative and had a great personality. The meeting point was easy to find and the bus was very comfortable. It was nice as a travel agent to experience your service first hand. Sincerely, Betsy Sugarman Foremost Travel& Tours
