“Fantastic experience BUT… there were a few things wrong with the tour - we were the only English speaking couple on our tour. Our driver spoke just about enough English to understand the important stuff. Whilst in the air, we were completely oblivious to any conversation or instruction from the pilot, which made us feel a bit excluded. Also, the tour isn’t quite as described on the listing, no ‘tour’, no translation, the ‘brunch’ was a plate of salami and a bowl of breadsticks. Nonetheless, fantastic experience, great views and glad we had done it (just don’t hold your expectations too high!).”
