“Absolutely fantastic tour with Theo! We had an incredible day from start to finish. The tour was quite long, but it was 100% worth it and never felt long thanks to Theo. He is an amazing guide: passionate, extremely knowledgeable, super interesting, and very funny! He made the whole experience so enjoyable and engaging. I cannot recommend this tour — and especially Theo — enough! Thanks Fox ! Julia & Sofian”
