Very enjoyable interesting tour of markets and historical buildings
It gave us a well organised opportunity to see 3 cities in 10 days. Overall, the hotels and tours were of a very good standard for this type of holiday. Our tour manager always on hand to deal with any issues.
The holiday was exciting and there was so much to see. There was also a lot of free time to explore places on your own which was great.
Everything came together to make this a fantastic holiday, nice weather, beautiful location, lovely food, great group of people but above all a brilliant tour manager. Also worth a mention, the way the packed lunches were done for this all inclusive holiday was an excellent idea. I think it would be good if you could have this set up as an optional extra for all your holidays.
