Reviews
The tour guide's explanations were detailed and thoughtful; it was a truly satisfying experience! The vehicle was very comfortable, and the timing was perfect! A fulfilling day!
It was a nice way to see a few of the little villages in the area. The perfume factory wasn't all that interesting and there was little history to go with the tour. The candy factory was much more interesting and delicious. I could have used a little extra time in a couple of the villages and there was no real stop for lunch, however the villages didn't really have restaurants either, just cafes. The end also felt a bit rushed as it seemed like the guide wanted to drop us off to try to beat the traffic home. Overall, it wasn't bad.
Tour guy Mike is very professional and friendly. He has patience to taking care the elder ladies and told us a lot of history about the village which makes us all have an wonderful day trip. Thank you very much! Very worthwhile trip!
