Great tour and very informative! Karim was very knowledgeable and also funny. Driver was also great at navigating and dropping us off in convenient spots. Learned a lot and would definitely recommend.

Tour carino ma nel complesso non si visita molto e tutto per non molto tempo, il faro che viene citato non viene neanche visitato il sito. Nel complesso gita carina ma non so se ma rifarei.
