Reviews
The tour itself was very interesting. The places included in the tour are well worth visiting. The guide`s knowledge and dedication are also noteworthy. Throughout the tour, she shared both historical and current information about life on the island. All information was delivered with a touch of lightness. The guide`s great sense of humor is also noteworthy. The only minor complaint concerns the free time allocated during the tour. If you want to see everything there is to see, you might not have time for a meal during your free time.
It`s worth it
