It was a lovely and informative tour - sadly my partner and I were picked up last and ended up in a windowless seat at the very back so it was hard to take photos while travelling. Otherwise our guide Alberto was fantastic!

The itinerary is out of date, needs updating.
Bus rather uncomfortable. The guide was good but we had to listen to the commentary in 3 different languages.
