“Sophie was an absolutely wonderful guide and I enjoyed her company immensely. She was very helpful and informative. The drivers were excellent also. I rate Sophia very highly and am grateful for her time. I was disappointed to have not gotten to walk more of the fortress wall but that was due to the other tour members, not the tour itself. Same disappointment with no martial arts on horseback in the village, but it simply wasn’t on for that day. The musical performance was excellent though. Overall very good.”

“The tour itself is nothing special. The fortress is small and the market only sells local items such as food and clothing. The guide, Steven, although friendly, does not accompany you to the market or the library, which is located inside a shopping mall. Too much time is spent in unnecessary places just to justify the price. It was not worth it.”
