“Nice daytrip to explore a lot of historical sites in just one day! Very long day and we didnt have so much time at each place - we kinda had to rush through a bit wich was sad. But although nice guide , and great lunch buffet and good Communication from beginning till end. Only thing that bothered a bit - you visit a crafts market and a silver store, they did not really show how its done on examples it was more just a quick show for the Tourists and then you feel a little bit obligated to buy something All in all was a great day !”
