The experience fell short of my expectations because I’m unclear if the entire itinerary was completed. Two extra cost activities are listed without offering alternative options. Additionally, since the tour focuses on nature, much time was spent on unnecessary shopping stops, and in our group, no one wanted to buy anything.

The destinations, guide, and lunch were all excellent. I’m giving three stars because I didn’t enjoy the stop at the leather factory, which included an awkward fashion show and persistent sales pressure for very expensive items.

Good tour with lots of beautiful spots. I liked the mix of nature and history, especially the rock churches. The transport was comfortable, but the group felt a bit large, which made some stops feel crowded. The guide was informative though, and the views were definitely worth it. I’d recommend it if you want a relaxed day out.
