It is an excellent tour with a lot of free time to explore the villages in a small group. Our driver and tour guide, Nabil, was kind, accommodating and professional.
It was great! Lots of history and enough time at each place to not feel rushed. Laurence was lovely and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Laurence made the tour lively, interesting and informative with nuggets of local flavors thrown in. Much appreciated.
