  • It was really fun and the guides explored a lot of nice places with us. The food was very delicious and it was enough for everyone there. The show was entertaining and difficult. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that the guides were sometime stressing us a by being in a hurry, which kind of was affecting our mood. So maybe next time they can be more patient with the customers.
