Great value for the cost - I enjoyed seeing the medieval towns. The van was clean, but a little tight for our group of six. Lunch was in a nice location and the food and wine were good. Our guide Jose was definitely knowledgeable, but I fear I missed a lot of what he said as he couldn’t always find the right translation to English.
