This was well organized. Communication with the company for hotel pickup was easy. We saw lakes, eat traditional foods and drinks, cultural dances, learned about the history, visited a cathedral and museum. The guides were knowledgeable.
The tour was good . The guide and driver were also very good and informative . A lot of history about Columbus. The lunch buffet was very good. The only problem was being crammed into a small bus for 2 1/2 hours each way sitting on a jump seat with no back rest. Also the bus held aprox 24 people and only 3 spoke English. English speaking people got part of the conversation - 30%.
