“MJ was an amazing tour guide — super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience truly authentic and exciting! The only thing was the transfer — our hotel was located outside the pickup zone, so we had to take a taxi to the meeting point, which took quite a bit of time. It would have been perfect if the transfer could have started from our location as well, so we could spend more time enjoying the program instead of traveling. Apart from that, the tour and the guide were absolutely fantastic — I’d definitely recommend it!”
