“The most breathtaking sceneries I have ever seen - 100% must see. The tour was well organized, our guide Omar gave us excellent information on the geological background of the places we were visiting and was very kind and patient with the group. The road is bumpy and long, especially if you are sitting in the back of the van (if you get car sick easily maybe ask for a seat in the front next to the driver), but that is the nature of the territory. All in all AMAZING tour.”
