Guide was excellent! He explained the day at the start and before each activity we were told how long it would be and what to take along. Very interesting tour made even better by a knowledgeable guide. Would definitely recommend. Perfect balance of information and humor.

We had a great tour, timing was fortunate in that the first week in November is quiet so there were only 4 of us in the group and lots of attention. And the weather was great. Our guide was fantastic, we later came to know on a tour in another city that he is renowned actually. The House of Mary was very interesting, followed by the tour of the ruins. Knowledge of the various ares was extensive and clearly delivered, questions were welcomed. We did a relatively quick tour of a family pottery business where we also enjoyed a tea break, and then a short drive to lunch at a small place which sponsors training of various skills. The menu was chosen in advance by the guide and it was delicious. It was followed by a tour of a government controlled rug manufacturing operation and sales, fascinating both in the ladies making the rugs and those completed and available for sale. The only brief downside of the tour was the uncomfortable hard sell on the carpets near the end of the visit.

Great trip. Our guide Mel was wonderful, super knowledge and funny. She made it a stress free experience. Catered to vegan for lunch which was nice. I actually enjoyed the carpet and jewellery sales pitch and got a bargain on a gold ring. Would highly recommend.
