Iulia was a great guide, and she told great stories about the sites and the areas. The sunset was stunning, and the busride was nice and chill. All in all, a very excellent trip!

Rio was a wonderful tour guide. My only negative was the stop for a break was too soon. The sunset even though a little cloudy was wonderful. It would be wonderful to reverse the order of the drive. Along the coast first in daylight!

The sunset was very lovely, a good trip out and great organisation. Angelina was a great host. Maybe not completely worth the price but the coach is comfortable and it is an amazing view.
