This was an excellent tour. Shakil was an exceptional guide, knowledgeable about each place we visited and the points of interest along the route. He patiently answered my many curious questions. We enjoyed traditional local cuisine, which was a real treat. Even though we'd only been living here for six months, it was refreshing to discover something new.
