Our family had an incredible time delving into ancient civilizations with a private tour that was both informative and engaging. The highlight for us was wandering through the fascinating site of a prehistoric settlement, where we could almost feel the echoes of history come alive. Our guide was a treasure trove of knowledge, making each stop feel personalized and meaningful. We enjoyed a delightful lunch that showcased the local flavors, though it would’ve been nice to have a bit more variety in the options. Overall, this experience exceeded our expectations and left us with lasting memories.
