Customer Reviews

  • Nicola
    · July 23rd, 2025
    I was very happy that this small group (2 women, one guide, one driver) was able to complete the tour. We saw lots of great palaces and fortresses as well as free-roaming cows virtually everywhere - but of course also the omnipresent dirt to the right and left of the road. Anyone embarking on this journey must be aware that there is a lot of driving involved. But all in all, it's worth it.

    Saw all the sights / activities that were included and a little more. There were no problems with the itinerary (incl finding guides etc). The first guide was a little more engaged than the second. But otherwise there is nothing to complain about. We were able to communicate well with both of them in German. The customer service before the trip always responded quickly to all questions and provided the remaining documents approx. 2.5 weeks before departure. Overall, it was a very good mix of getting to know the culture in areas where there are hardly any tourists and seeing well-known sights!
