    Travelled with a group of friends

    I did enjoy most of the trip But also felt that as we couldn’t understand the language we missed out on explanations and obviously little jokes our guide was saying to make the tour more enjoyable We often had to wait until the end and by that time the other guests had moved on I just found it very frustrating
