“Amazing day with sites that exhilerate. Terrific guide who was knowledgeable and responsive. The lunch however was disastrous. Needed to order 1 hour in advance, arrived at the restaurant. Table laden with food which was stone cold. Also a rip off . We refused to stay. Too many comfortable backhanders methinks!”
