“A Fantastic day with a knowledgeable guide”
We had a great day with Nori and saw so much! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He calibrated the day exactly right for our family. We had a limited time and really felt we were able to get the most out of our trip because of Nori’s planning. We saw all of the sites we wanted to see in a sequence that made sense, had a tasty lunch, and learned so much. Absolutely don’t hesitate to book with Nori. You will get so much more out of your visit and your day will be stress free! We can’t wait to come back and do another tour. Thanks so much for making our visit so smooth!
