From the moment we were picked up, we knew we would have fun. Great sense of humour, great with all the family. And what a tour. We did a customized package with contact initially from the Facebook page and then via WhatsApp. What we wanted to do was not part of the tours but they managed to fit it in. Great food. An amazing home stay. A great experience all round. Highly recommended.
