“Benny our guide and Brian our driver, far exceeded expectations. Bennys presentation was clear and concise with a strong voice along with great English skills. His lifelong love of his city and his knowledge of its history and political changes was more than I expected. We were shown the complete city- the good the bad and the ugly. Historical Monasteries, Forts, The Walled City, along with some shopping time. I do highly recommend this excursion and would probably do it again for a second time.”
