A Trip to Remember

Norman_N, May 2024

This tour was one of the most memorable of our family vacation. There were many beautiful places to visit, especially the fortress on top of the mountain, and the canal, where you will be able to see a spectacular view of the river and people bungee jumping every few minutes. Our tour guide, George is very knowledgeable, friendly, and is willing to answer any questions.
