Really nice experience! Our tour guide, John, let us choose what we wanted to do and go at our own place. When I got hungry in the afternoon he took us to a little local doner shop which was delicious! He is very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. He also recommended a winery to go to the next day which was lovely, they gave us additional wine samples because we mentioned his name.

Guide was excellent and spent more time with us then expected. He was happy to answer all our questions, and his English was very good. We had no trouble understanding him. He made 2 phone calls for us to arrange dinner and an appointment for a Haman. He freely gave recommendations and suggestions.
