“This tour is definitely not worth the money-We were surprised when we found out our “private tour” was just us with a guide escorting us on public transportation - we literally paid 1000 to take an hour ride on the crowded train to see 75 ft falls . Our guide was nice but provided barely any historical context . The castle was not open and it just felt like 90percent of the tour we were killing time .”

“The driver was very nice however the whole thing was very unorganized. Majority of the time we didn’t know what we were doing and would just be dropped off in a parking lot, and would be told to “go over there”. One of the museums we went to was closed the day we booked it and the tour operator never told us about it, made alternate arrangements or reimbursed us. We also didn’t receive any entry tickets until after we were dropped off at the location.
