We had a memorable moment while savoring traditional dishes at a local eatery, where the rich flavors truly brought the culture to life. The chance to wander through historic sites felt transformative, especially as we stood before towering ancient structures that echo a vibrant past. While the tour allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local heritage, a bit more time at some locations would have enhanced our experience.

Exploring ancient ruins and vibrant markets over three days with friends was an incredible experience for us. One highlight was the breathtaking moment we stood amidst the ruins of a grand amphitheater, feeling the history pulse through the stones. While the itinerary was packed, occasionally it felt rushed, and we wish we had more time to soak in the local culture during our overnight stays.
