A wonderful trip! The group bonded beautifully, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly throughout. Ria, our guide, was exceptional — energetic, insightful, and truly attentive. She shared every highlight with real enthusiasm, always grounding her explanations in precise historical context. Ria not only helped us discover the culture, but also the cuisine, introducing us to an astonishing range of refined dishes. An utterly successful journey from start to finish.
