There were 3 of us and we had a great experience and our guide was happy to stop whenever we wanted for more photos The only down side would be the lunch. It is cafeteria/ buffet style but I think all the tours go here. Also, it would have been great if our guide spoke some English to give us more history of the places we visited. But overall a wonderful experience”
