This small group tour certainly hit the mark…so much fun, beauty and information shared throughout this lovely day…and such a joy to see two countries in one day. The icing on the cake, our fabulous guide, Thomas. I would not hesitate to take another tour with him…he is extremely knowledgeable, very organized, kind, helpful…and a very safe driver.
