This tour was fantastic! We were picked up right on time from our hotel, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The BBQ chicken lunch, complete with salad and rice, was delicious. Just a heads-up, drinks aren't included, so be sure to bring your own. Our guide, John, was knowledgeable and engaging, and the bus driver did an excellent job navigating the mountain roads safely. We had a wonderful time exploring the attractions, and it seems that a guy named Eric from the travel agency helped organize the trip. Highly recommend this tour!

The pick-up service and guide were incredibly professional, experienced, and friendly! The beginning of the day involves some winding roads, so I’d recommend taking a motion sickness pill just in case. For the waterfall visit, it's a good idea to wear sports shoes for better traction and comfort.

I wanted to experience authentic village life, and this tour delivered exactly that! We started with a visit to a serene beach, where we learned about the history behind the statue there. Next, we explored a carpet factory showcasing stunning, handmade carpets—such incredible craftsmanship! Traveling in a comfortable, air-conditioned mini-bus, we also stopped by an olive oil factory and got to sample some delicious local honey. I couldn’t resist buying two jars to take home!
