4Skip Group Lunch!
Very good tour. The only thing is they give you 1.5 hours for lunch, the group lunch took most of the time and we had like 15 min for the Triangular houses. So the tour is good, but I would suggest doing lunch on your own; then you can see the houses first and then leave 30-40 min for yourself for lunch.
4Good tour overall.
Was a very good tour, the guide was excellent and informative. Although he did almost leave me at the last stop!
