Experience Details

* We believe that traveling is more than sightseeing so we seek to let you experience every aspect of our country. In our tours, we try local food, play together, discover the world and have a person to person communication.


* In comparison to a group tour, you will have bigger flexibility. After the guide tells about the site, guests have the flexibility in their activity. There are boundaries in timing for the whole tour but you have big pliability of spent time in a particular location.

Traveling with us is about all the not planed but interesting ideas that may come to your mind during the journey.


* To satisfy our guests we drew a number of versions of the same tours. These versions vary by activities and covered landmarks. One variant can be more relaxing whilst the other may cover a bigger variety of activities, from sightseeing and gastronomy to short hikes and climbs in one tour.
